| Costs are based on one person, if you partner you can split fuel and room costs (both 1 and 3 events). Fuel costs for someone with a gas engine would be considerably lower. Costs would also be less if you lived closer to Lake Powell. Anglers who pre-fish Thursday would save two days of vacation with a one qualifier format. | ||||||||||
