Fishing in early summer is a roll of the dice with weather. Excellent Sturgeon fishing in the main river, but conditions in the afternoon can be a little choppy to do salmon or rockfish. Come prepared with waterproof clothing and sunscreen as necessary.

Bananas on a boat is considered bad luck. Wear layers because it's cold in the morning but warms up by the afternoon.

Smart to over prepare for changing weather conditions, thereโ€™s nowhere to hide and on the water it can be cold and rough. Thereโ€™s no bathroom so just know and adjust.
