BBW,

You are right, we do not own the river. Several times while I have been fishing a river in Montana my guide and I have come across people who are trying to fish the river without a guide (considering the size of the river, this usually is not very productive, guides really help out). We have asked several of these people how they were doing and a couple of them have indicated that they had not been able to catch hardly anything. My guide asks them if they have any xxxx flies (the flies that were hot that particular day) and if they say they don't then we have drifted over to them and he will hand them a few of that particular fly and tell them how best to fish it.

That to be is being a great sportsman.
