HOW Guests/Participants are NOT allowed to go kayak fishing during the event without a designated HOW guide and required safety equipment. You MUST wear your personal floatation device (PFD) the entire time while you are on/in the kayak.

Food and drinks may not be provided, so we ask to be prepared to bring your own snack/food/drinks if you have special needs/preferences. Bring a lawn chair or something to sit on since many of our locations are primitive and may not have a place to sit.

As a precaution, we suggest you bring a dry set of clothing, since this is water related event, and we never know about the weather/tides.
