I used to guide, but after a few seasons I found that it wasn't entirely in my blood. Once I got to the point of fishing well enough to think that I could
be a decent guide, I was appreciating things about the sport beyond the catching of lots of big fish. Trying to pass that appreciation on was not working well.
From what I recall though, guiding through a shop was not a fee-intensive endeavor. The shop posted most of the fees. I just had to supply gas money and buy food. Oh, and the obligatory CPR and First Aid training.

I guees the new laws are not all that bad for a full time guide but I do it part time and the premium for the half milloin is about half of my yearly take. But
like you, its more fun just helping nubeis from time to time. thanks for the replies

I've guided for just shy of 10 years now. I do less and less of the day-to-day guiding now - just too much to get through in a day at my fly-shop. But, I
do get to cherry-pick the best trips, like going to Alaska with some clients as a host next month - talk about a tough job! Guiding is the best job in the
world when you're out there with someone who is keen to learn and share ideas and appreciate that a good days fishing is not just about loads of fish on
the end of a line. Guiding is the worst job in the world when the guy you're with is a prick.
