There are plenty of reasons why you might hire a fly fishing guide. The most common reason is that you’re taking a trip, so you want to optimize your angling opportunity. It might also be the case that you have to have a guide to access a particular stretch of water. Or, you could be genuinely interested in learning something from a reputable waterman.
Whether the cost of a day in a drift boat is a splurge or chump change, the investment of time with a guide necessitates that you do more than reach out to the first person Google hands you. With a few simple steps, your day out with a professional has the potential to yield a lot more than a good number of fish.
There is a link to the rest of the post, A Guide Guide after the jump.
But before you do that, be sure to check out the two videos I’ve included in today’s post. One is an “unboxing” of sorts. The other? It’s a dozen minutes of Tom Rosenbauer.
Watch the videos, and find a link to the article, below:
Head to “The Pursuit of Fish” on Trout & Feather to read my posts, including A Guide Guide.
Who doesn’t like seeing how another guy does it? And when that guy is Tim, and when “it” is packing gear for a day on the water nymphing for trout, that is must see TV.
Tom Rosenbauer knows fly tying. And here, Tim asks him to nail down his top 5 fly tying materials. I’d say it is worth checking out.
