Choosing a guide?
First thing, please use some common sense when looking for a guide. There are many guides and captains in this state and on our local waters. Many offer lots of things. Some are ethical and some are not. Some are safe, and some are not. Some are full time but most are not. Some have native fishing experience, and there are many that do not. Many offer fly fishing, but use a boat and/or tackle designed for anything but fly fishing. A lot of what you’re looking for when choosing a guide is apparent, and some needs deeper digging. The guide’s tackle and sponsors may indicate his specialties, or lack of them. Same for his trip photos. Does your guide pole a boat or always use trolling motors? Is there a tower on the boat that can spot fish from 100 feet away? Pretty simple questions, really. Many guides that advertise fly fishing don’t fly fish themselves. Sometimes it may not matter, but don’t count on it. If the guide is not a fly fisherman, he probably won’t know how to fish you properl
