Learning From A Guide

If you are after a new species or fishing new water, we recommend learning from a guide.

Even to the point of saving up for it.

It will be worth doing.
Why not just get a map of the new lake and head out? Because;

YOU’LL LEARN FROM KNOWLEDGEABLE EXPERIENCE:

Not from frustrating Trial & Error
Guides are knowledgable about the behavior of the species in the waters they fish
Guides are well aquainted with the bottom structure of the waters they fish

YOU'LL HAVE THE RIGHT GEAR:

You won't have to bring a lot of extra gear along - just in case
Your guide will have the correct line, rods, reels, lures, etc. for the water you will be fishing

THE PRESSURE IS OFF:

Finding fish to catch in the new water becomes the guide's burden, not yours
You will be taken to the best locations and the bait will be rigged correctly

YOU WILL BECOME A BETTER ANGLER:

You will add to your fishing knowledge and experience

Every guide we have ever met is more than willing to "show you the ropes".
They all love and respect our sport and they all feel that an essential part of their chosen profession is to encourage ethical fishing methods and practices (you can feel confident that the guides we have linked to adhere to this concept - otherwise, we would not link to them in the first place).
When you book your trip, be sure to tell your guide that while catching fish you also want to learn everything from knots to trolling depth.
That way, there will be no last minute suprises for you or your guide when you hit the water.
You deserve the most you can get for your money.
Your guide deserves to know what you want so he can furnish the best trip possible.
