So, Why Book a Guide?
Ask fly fishing professionals if they ever hire local guides when they travel to fish and you may be surprised by their answers. "I wouldn't fish unfamiliar water without them!" or "That's an integral part of my adventure planning, finding the right guide for me." Another seasoned, well-traveled guide said, "I just don't have that much time to fish so I want the time I do have on the water to be as productive as possible. A wizened old guide once told me, 'You gotta' fish where the fish is! A good local guide knows where the fish is!"
"There's a safety factor when I'm going to be chest deep in strange water" says another. " A local fishing guide knows where the wading is dicey due to fierce hydraulics, dam releases, recent rough weather, etc. Even if I've been there before, I still get a guide the first day because nobody knows better than I do how the river profile can change in a year." A surprising answer came from a guide with over 30 years of experience. " I always learn something new from my guides, new ties, techniques or just new jokes and fish stories. I even got some inventive lunch ideas on one trip. The guide called it Thanksgiving on the Run. It was a turkey and stuffing sandwich with cranberry chutney on fresh whole grain bread. Now that was worth the guide price right there!"
Get up to the minute local river and angling knowledge, maximize your fly fishing productivity, learn new tips and techniques, ensure your safety on unfamiliar water, and the possibility of a gourmet streamside lunch. Take it from the pros, it's the best way to protect your investment of time and fishing travel dollars.
