Adventure Tips

Wear layers for river-side conditions

Mornings and evenings can be cool even in summer; layering helps keep comfortable throughout the day.

Use polarized sunglasses

Polarized lenses reduce glare on the water, making it easier to spot fish and protect your eyes.

Stay well hydrated

Fishing can be physically demanding, so bring at least 2 liters of water each day to stay hydrated.

Bring insect repellent

Bugs can be active near the river, especially in warmer months—repellent improves comfort.
