Guides do a lot more than put fish on the end of your line. In fact, putting fish on the end of your line is one of those things they can't do. So when they ask questions, give ideas, or encourage the trip to go in a different direction, their expertise is worth leaning into.
Today I'm sharing four guide stories. Two are from my perspective as a client, one as a guide, and the last is from a friend with a particularly stubborn client. They're more educational/cautionary tales than anything else, but hopefully they can give some perspective as we're heading into another fishing season. And, potentially time on the water with a guide.
