Anderson’s Fish Camp- “Phase 2” Eagle County COVID Protocols
Here are the current changes to our guiding routines to accommodate Eagle County COVID protocols.
Updated on 6-3-2020
- Gear (waders, boots, chairs, rods, nets) will be sanitized prior to guest arrival.
- No one shall fish or show up to fish if they, or anyone in their household, are feeling any COVID symptoms. If you cancel your trip due to COVID symptoms, you will be refunded fully.
- We are currently assigning one guide to groups of 3 or less.
- We are currently recommending all parties wear a face covering when in close proximity to their guide.
- Guides will stand 6 feet away as often as possible, and wear a face mask whenever possible.
- Guides will sanitize the rod and net handles with disinfecting wipes before each guided trip.
- Guides will take photos from their personal phones and AirDrop or text them to their guests.
- Guests will be provided with a walking pole to assist in walking on slippery river areas to minimize contact with their guide. In addition, fishing places will be chosen with distancing in mind.
- Guests are encouraged to bring their own water and snacks from home.
- Guests are encouraged to pay for their trip via Venmo or over the phone with a credit card.
- Guests are encouraged to purchase their mandatory fishing license from CPWshop.com ( Colorado Parks and Wildlife) before their trip.
- A bottle of hand sanitizer will be available at all times on the bank of the river as well in the guides vest/pack.
- When you catch a fish, we won’t high-five you… but we will hoot and holler!
We know these are CRAZY times. Your safety has always been our top concern while we are on the water, and “saftey” has reached a new level these days. We will continue to do our best. If you have questions or would like to book a trip: call or text (970) 376-002. Stay safe!
