Volunteers needed for the Event:

Fishing: Volunteer leaders will take 2 people each to designated sections of the river. Drift boats will go from Texas Hole to Crusher. This is a fly fishing event. Please bring fly fishing gear along with a New Mexico fishing license.
**Note: Volunteer leaders will be present at the event. Our volunteers are not compensated for the trip. No tips are allowed. While we keep fathers and sons together, usually you will fish with people you don’t know. This is done purposefully so please don’t be surprised. Please be flexible and plan to follow the instructions of your assigned volunteer leader. Essentially, treat this like a fishing trip with a group of friends… this is NOT a guided trip.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and dinner will be provided for both Friday and Saturday. We will provide a to-go breakfast on Sunday morning. Drinks and snacks will be available in limited amounts but plan to bring your favorite soft drinks. You may also want to pack food and drinks to bring with you while you’re fishing.
Freebies/Door prizes: Hat
Rules:
- No perfect people allowed. Come as you are, no pretending.
- No drunkenness. Alcohol in moderation is allowed only after fishing is done for the day. Safety is a must!

- Have a good time.
