Bring Weather-Appropriate Layers

Arrive Early to Maximize Fishing Time
Morning trips often provide calmer waters and better fish activity compared to afternoon outings.
Motion Sickness Prevention
If you’re prone to seasickness, consider taking preventive medication as smaller boats feel lake swells more.
