            I acknowledge that the Texas Hill Country Fly Fishers Club, Scott Haas, owner of Crabapple Creek in Gillespie County, Texas, and the owners and staff of Tecaboca Camp Mountain Home, Texas, have entered a specific lease agreement with Texas Hill Country Fly Fishers to allow fly fishing access to limited portions of Crabapple Creek and Johnson Creek. 

            I understand, as a member of the THCFF lease access program, having paid my lease access and club membership fees, that I completely accept and will fully honor the rules of the lease access agreements.

            I understand there are natural and unnatural risks in accessing Crabapple Creek and Tecaboca (Johnson Creek) premises. I know my person, property, and any guests I bring are exposed to the same risks.  I EXPRESSLY ASSUME ANY AND ALL SUCH RISKS, HAZARDS, AND DANGERS AS MY LIABILITY. 

            IN CONSIDERATION FOR THE RIGHT FOR ME TO ENTER THE PREMISES covered by the above-referred to Lease, I DO RELEASE AND AGREE TO PROTECT, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS, Lessor in said Lease and Lessor's agents, employees and assigns, and the Texas Hill Country Fly Fishers Club, its directors, and officers and assigns:

            from and against any claims, demands, causes of action of any sort, and damages, including attorney's fees, resulting from any accident, incident, or occurrence arising out of, incidental to, or in any resulting from my use of the land and all improvements situated thereon, during the period I am permitted on the premises and until I leave the premises, regardless of whether same may result from lessor's negligence or gross negligence. 

            I, at this moment, further covenant and agree for me, my heirs, successors, and assigns that I will not make any claim or institute any suit or action at law or in equity against the lessor or their respective heirs, agents, representatives, employees, successors or assigns and the Texas hill country fly fishers club or its directors and officers.

            FINALLY, considering the right to enter said premises, I understand and agree that I will not litter such premises, harm, destroy, or damage any property or vegetation on said premises.  I accept that I will be liable for and will indemnify Lessor and Lessor's agents, employees, and assigns from and against all damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses caused by my guests or me as a result of my (our) acts, conduct, omissions or failures, including without limitation any damage to any ranch or camp property and vegetation used part of the Lease Agreement.
