Morning Arrival & Registration Requests

• Please do not block incoming traffic while registering and preparing boats for launch.
• For any team that may have boat captains that are traveling separately from the youth anglers, we ask that you use the “Overflow Parking Area” (As shown in the map below) to meet and gather all gear into the boat before proceeding to the launching area.  This gravel area is actually a great place for all youth teams to park and make a short walk to the trailer for morning registration.
• Please register your team prior to launching your boat.
• Thank-you for your understanding and help in making this a successful event for all to enjoy.
