Do we need to check in at an office when we show up?

There's no real office, just a kiosk at the park entrance. Just tell them you're at the group site and head on in.
 
FYI, I just called Mike Sturza at Lost Creek Fly Shop in Onalaska. He is guiding folks for muskie on Lake Mayfield tomorrow and may stop by our group camp late Friday if he is not too tired. He is a great source of local intel and hot flies!

Bring cash!

Good reminder... as someone who doesn't carry/use cash for anything ever, it's never on my radar. I just always assume using Venmo or something. But I'll try to remember to stop at an ATM... if I can even find my debit card.

Ok good news and bad news.

Good news I'm hoping to go. Bad news I'm having a bad days. Wish I could go into full details just to say my brain shuts me down. I doubt I'll be able to make the baked beans. Is there something I can run to store to grab instead? I doubt I'll be eating there tomorrow unless my brain unf&%kes itself. I'll try to go in morning and leave after lunch.

Let me know if there's something else I could bring. They make a couple potato salads and a antipasto salad at Safeway.

heading up shortly. I really don't have much (without any inflatable boat), but it doesn't take much to fill the baby Prius. Bringing several 10wts that AREN'T for trade to play around with on the lawn.

some rods I'm bringing for swapping, I don't have reels, so hopefully there will be 6,7,8 wt lines floating around.
 
I'll be heading down tomorrow AM. Will have at least one 8wt line spooled up, and a newly built rod (thanks @Wetswinger) to go with it. I'll pack along an inflatable kayak to mess around with, a box of firewood, and something in the food department to share.

I'm not able to make it. I have both fun family stuff as well as sad friend stuff tomorrow.
I'm waiting to see if I'm free on Sunday, but if I am, I'll be trying to catch a darn capr before May ends.

Have a great time guys!
