I am done with guides. For the last 50 years I have never had a guide that earned his fee. Sorry to guide members here, yes, I know it's not a perfect world and you work hard for a living but my luck with them has been so terrible I've sworn off of them forever. I'd rather rent a boat and fish blind on my own than pay $600 for a bad experience. From the Keys to the high Rockies I've found enough info, fishing tips, maps, pattern suggestions, etc. to manage a successful trip on many occasions. Okay, I owe Dragonfly Anglers in Crested Butte an apology, because in 0 degree temps and -15 wind chill they guided me onto the biggest trout of my life.
