Guide Services - Maximize your Experience
The selection of a guide is as important to the success of your trip as the selection of your gear. So where and when do you start? We suggest you start right now! With a few clicks you can explore the great fishing we have to offer. If you're travelling, let us help you find the right destination, guides and help you with your preparation. We've travelled all over the world and we have the contacts and experience that can make the difference in the success of your trip. There are a number of key points that we can help you with including:
1. FINDING FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL GUIDES. There are many lodges and guides with appropriate skills, however not everyone treats clients the same. Locally, you can count on this with TCO; If your traveling, we can help make sure you get that same great service.
2. FIT YOUR SKILL LEVEL. Some rivers or destinations can be difficult to fish. Also, some guides are very good with beginners, some are not. We'll help make sure you know what you're getting into. Locally, let us know (honestly) your skill level and we'll make sure we match both the guide and the stretch of river to your skill level to maximize your time.
3. UNDERSTAND THE COST. There are as many different approaches and local customs as there are destinations. Do they have rental gear? Does it include beverages & lunch or do you have to bring your own? How about Flies? And gratuity? Transportation? We'll work with you to make sure you understand what you're getting into with destination travel.
4.KNOW WHEN TO GO. Fishing is more challenging at different times of year. We can make sure the sales person at the location doesn't oversell the destination to fill the dead times in their calendar. We also help with understanding tides, moon phases and more.
5. GET IN TOUCH WITH A TCO GUIDE. Our guides will be in touch with you before the trip. It is a great time to ask questions about gear, schedules, what their ideas are for your day on the water. It gives you a feel for one another and often adds to the quality of the trip.
6. TAKE THE RIGHT GEAR. We have a gear list available for each destination we service. You can always assume you know what you’ll need. A fishing trip budget can been blown buying inadequate duplicates of the stuff you didn’t bring.
7. PLAN AND PREPARE. Take time to plan your trip and plan ahead of time. Use a professional to assist with the plan to ensure you get the most out of your trip and investment. Use TCO's team and resources to make sure every detail is covered.
