Fly fishing only - catch & release

• Practice best handling trout and other species

  • minimal handling

  • keep in the water if possible

• Barbless hooks or crimped barbs are strongly encouraged, as this helps protect the fish and you with a quick release.

• Exception to catch & release may exist on Premium trips that offer opportunities to keep fish

Equipment

• Fly rod & reel.  Typically a 5 weight rod will meet most needs. Check with Keith for suggestions.

• Waders, wading staff, wading boots.  Boot soles will be either felt or high tech rubber.  Polarized sunglasses with strap. 

Emergency Information

• In case of an accident or injury, a contact name, email, phone number must be provided before the date of the trip​

Notice of Any Special Dietary Needs

• Please provide any dietary or allergy issues to help the host to provide and attend to your needs.

Other Equipment, Strongly Suggested: 

• Quality rainwear (Gortex recommended), warm socks & long underwear

• Fishing hat & gloves, fleece pants and outerwear for winter fishing, quick dry pants

• Fishing shirts (it’s a proven fact; fish bite better if wearing official SRTU merchandise.)

• Insect repellent, sunscreen, camera, personal toiletries and medical prescriptions

• Folding chair.  You will look good seated by the shore at lunchtime.

• Fishing net, don't leave this at home.
