I've always dreamt of doing this myself, but the area I live in just is not popular enough to make a living at it. I even talked to a few guides, salt and fresh water, and surprisingly they all said in a nut shell "become a plumber or something else. And if you have a day job, stick with it."

My other problem was that i found out quickly you can't just up and decide to become a guide. You have to have some fairly extensive (and time consuming) medical training, and guide insurance is ridiculousy outrageous. I would never, cover the cost around here. But still I dream...maybe someday.
