COVID-19 Operating Plans

​State and federal authorities have provided as much guidance to outfitters as they can for formulating corona virus operating plans. In many cases, where concrete answers could not be provided they have pointed to general or specific guidelines from CDC, OHA or the Governor’s office and have indicated that we use those to make the best possible decisions regarding how to operate.  Review general guidelines and find links to resources HERE.
