Adventure Tips
Wear Layers for Variable Weather
Morning and evening temperatures can be cool while midday gets warm, so dressing in layers helps you stay comfortable throughout the day.
Use Barbless Hooks
Protect the fish and ensure easy release by requesting barbless hooks during your guide-led fishing experience.
Stay Quiet Near Fishing Spots
Minimize noise to avoid spooking the Brook Trout, especially in clear, shallow pools.
Bring Sun Protection
Even in forested areas, sun exposure can be significant—wear sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses.
