I plan on tipping $50.00 minimum. For all the reasons listed in Sagefishers post, I wouldnt dream of tipping less. If I had the resources, I would hire guides more often, and tip them better then I can now. I usually mention that at the end of the day. I've never had a bad experience with a guide yet, but I imagine I would let the shop know of any bad experience before stiffing the guide. Guiding is hard work. None of my fishing guide friends are getting rich doing this, and I am glad of their profession and commitment to the sport.
