                                WESTERN ETIQUETTE: (Recommended)<\/p>\n

                                * Be Friendly at all times, even in trying situations, -you’ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n

                                * Carry a plastic bag for refuse, and always try to leave a place better than you found it.<\/p>\n

                                * Fish at least 100 ft from other anglers.<\/p>\n

                                * Wet hands before handling fish, leaving them submerged as long as possible pre-photo.<\/p>\n

                                * When able, walk the bank when changing locations – less stress on fish\/river bottoms.<\/p>\n

                                * Knock down the barbs on hooks or use barbless hooks.<\/p>\n

                                Tips:<\/p>\n

                                – Have a great time, relax, not too serious now! Make a friend or twenty.<\/p>\n

                                – It’s OK to hire or pay a guide’s entry to be a teammate.<\/p>\n

                                – Local shops may have multi-river guide trips previous to the event to sharpen you up.<\/p>\n

                                – Check the schedule and rules on the website often. Check in early.<\/p>\n

                                – Don’t Hurry, Enjoy fishing itself, (“catching” is even better!). It’s for a good cause!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
