Boat & Equipment – Guides must always ensure a well organized boat with equipment ready for the day of fishing. Guides will ensure: A boat that is clean and well organized, all necessary fishing and safety equipment on board and with food and fish coolers that are clean Clean rods, and reels that are ready to go and in great working order Baits that are prepared and fishing tackle organized and ready to fish Lunches that are properly stored and cooled with sufficient bottled water for all guests Trip Start – Guides will ensure a successful start to the trip by: Ensuring proper introductions are made that clients receive a friendly welcome – offer clients help in loading the boat, coolers, and storing extra gear on board Explaining safety protocol to everyone, pointing out all safety equipment Explaining standard boating protocols and etiquette Ensure all fishing licenses and client waivers have been properly completed On the boat – While we can’t guarantee clients will catch fish we can guarantee the best service and experience for the client. To make this happen guides will: Prior to fishing ask clients how involved they would like you to be when it comes to rod set-up and setting the hook Demonstrate our commitment to sustainability – together with our guests we will handle all fish with care, we will scan, tag and record all sturgeon caught in conjunction with the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society Point out areas of interest, wildlife and share what history of the area we have At the end of the trip – Before the end of the day be sure you are filling out accurate fish catch reports and that all fishing licenses and payment details for licenses are accounted for.
