- Prep in the staging area first, because the less time you spend on the ramp, the happier the line behind you.

- Load with the winch, not the throttle, so River access stays usable for everyone.
- Clean, drain and dry your boat and trailer before you leave River access, so invasive mussels and plants don't travel to the next lake.
