1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK & ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I, the undersigned Participant, acknowledge and understand that participation in guided fishing activities (including but not limited to casting lessons, wading, fishing from a drift boat or powered watercraft, walking or hiking to remote locations, and handling fishing equipment) involves inherent risks, hazards, and dangers. While skills, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce these risks, the risk of serious injury does exist. These risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Slippery or unstable riverbeds, rocks, sand and similar environmental hazards;

  • Swift currents, deep water, and sudden weather changes;

  • Personal injury, including drowning and death, while wading, fishing, or boating;

  • Sunburn, hypothermia, or other effects of exposure to natural elements;

  • Injury from fishing hooks, rods, equipment, or other anglers, including my guide;

  • Accidents involving watercraft, including boarding, disembarking, and collisions;

  • Encounters with wildlife or insects;

  • The absence of rapid medical attention or emergency response.

I agree to comply with stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If I observe any unusual or significant hazard during my participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such conditions to the attention of the Company immediately.

I understand the risks involved in the activity. I have had the opportunity to consider those risks, and I knowingly and freely assume responsibility for my safety and belongings with all such risks. I voluntarily choose to participate in this activity. I am in good physical condition and am healthy enough to participate in the activity safely.
