Thoughts on rates: When I guided in Montana, the going rate to hire me through the shop was $425 per day. Of that, I made $275. I liked it. Having said that, I thought to myself oftentimes that as a school teacher, and fishing guide, if I went on vacation, I could never in a million years justify that for a day on the water. Part of it is my adventuresome side, but still. That's pricey. It's also what it costs. Here, I have fewer expenses, I don't have guide's associations to belong to, I don't have $1000 worth of expenses to show up. So...I'm reasonable. If you could dig up one of my brochures from 1995, it'd say it was $175 for a full day single. $25 inflation in 15 years...Thats inflation that people can handle. I guess its fun, and don't think I need to ask more than I do. Again...feel free to pay more if you'd like.
Foat or wade? I'd rather wade. I think you catch more fish, and learn more - a lot more. Having said that, floats are nice because you see more scenery, and if the smallmouth are "on", you'll do very well. You'll also see less peple on a float. Yeah, canoes come by now and then, but I've never noticed it to affect the fishing. Lastly, full day floats are long at about 10 hours. If the fishing is slow, its gonna be a long day - Try as I might, I can't turn the fish on if they have a case of lockjaw. On stream, you can walk back to the car and fish somewhere else.
One or two? One hands down i f you like flying solo. A day in a creek one on one with a guide is simply as good as it gets. You will learn more than you ever imagined.
The Killer Lunch: Years ago, while guiding in Montana, I spent a day guiding with another guide. We stopped at an island for a group lunch. Chris had made fresh grilled chicken for sandwiches, I had purchased lunch meat. At the end of the day, Chris was out of chicken and I had all my lunch meat. I've marinated and grilled all my lunches either that morning or the night before ever since. I make killer lunches. Typically we'll have a grilled pork or chicken sandwich with a "make it yourself" approach to the extras, but any suggestions will be considered. I typically make a fresh salad from my garden, and have some sort of fruit and desert as well. I provide water, or gatorade, or I can bring a soda if you are inclined. I am fine with light alcohol consumption in the boat, but I won't typically enjoy a beer until the day is done. I like to play my "A" game while fishing.
Guiding
I'm suspecting the reason you clicked this link is because a trip sounds like an interesting way to spend a day. It is. On trips, I have done minor surgery, made great lunches, I once sank the boat three times, and yeah...I've caught fish too. But seriously, when in a place you're not familiar with, hiring a guide is the best way to save a day, learn a bunch and hopefully catch some fish. Click HERE to learn about rates, get my number etc. Odds are this is a spur of the moment event. I've been there and hope to help.
