When you arrive at most lodges you will have a short orientation to learn where and how to access all the lodge facilities as well as information regarding your fishing program. Following that you generally have time to get settled in.
We find that unpacking and organizing all of our gear as soon as we arrive helps us relax and start enjoying our vacation that much earlier. Once you have all your gear set up and ready to go for the first morning of fishing you can enjoy the pool, explore the grounds or any towns nearby, get to know your fellow guests and hosts and start off on the right foot for your first morning of fishing.
