Adventure Tips

Timing your trip

Wear polarized sunglasses

Polarized lenses reduce glare and help spot fish beneath the water’s surface.

Dress in layers

Mountain weather can change fast; layering keeps you comfortable throughout your trip.

Handle fish with care

Use wet hands or a net to minimize stress on the fish and support catch-and-release.
