I went on a guided fishing trip with a friend of mine a few weeks back. It was two days in Montana, a walk wade on the Gallatin and a float trip on the Yellowstone.

Had a great time even though we didn't catch too many fish and certainly nothing very big.

We spent well over a thousand dollars for the service - actually closer to two.

At the end of the last day the outfitter did an inventory of every fly we used/lost and tippet material we used. He gave us the used flies and the started tippet spools - - along with a bill.

I didn't think that was appropriate and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I've used guides before in Colorado and Pennsylvania and never had that happen before. Is it a usual practice?
