Participating in fishing trips with guides can not only take a lot of the planning and
guesswork out of a day on the water, it can be a great opportunity to hone your skills.
Steps:
1.Check your local fly or tackle shop for recommendations on guides. Not only will this connect you
with guides specific to the areas you want to fish, but many guides work out of local fly or tackle shops
and get clients through their referrals. But book early; if you wait, you may end up with whomever the
shop can muster at the last minute.
2.Decide if you want to do walk-and-wade fishing without a boat, or if you want to try out fishing on a
boat. This may point you in the direction of one guide over another.
3.Ask what skill level the guide specializes in, and match your skills appropriately.
4.Determine what the guide's price covers. Things to consider when evaluating the price are: What
equipment is included; are there extra charges for tackle; what gear should you to bring; how long will
you actually spend on the water; is there a fee for use of private water; is lunch included and does it
cover a shuttle to the fishing site?
5.Ask how many fisherman the fee covers and how much it is to add another person. See if you can
partner with a fisherman of similar ability. Sometimes adding on an additional fisherman and splitting
the trip that way is cheaper than going alone.
6.Choose someone who is not going to fish while you are, but who is going to help you fish. The best
way to learn is to do it, not watch someone else do it for you.
Tips:
If you need to bring your own equipment and you don't have any, rent some and use it as an
opportunity to try different types out before you buy.
Make sure your guide has all the appropriate licenses and permits for the areas you'll be fishing.
Save time the day of the trip by already having your fishing license or paperwork done.
Going on a walk-in trip can allow you to learn about waters that you can come back to and fish the
next day.
