Do You Really Need A Fishing Guide?

"Do I really need a guide?" is one of the most frequently asked questions from anglers going on their first fishing trip to a remote lake. It's impossible to accurately answer that question with a "yes" or a "no", but we can give you the information you need to know to answer the question yourself.

Guides can frequently be worth having as long as you know just exactly what you're getting.

For example, hiring a guide is no guarantee that you're going to catch a ton of trophy fish. The guide will take you to the places known to have fish, but catching them is still up to you.

If you don't know what you're doing, the guide can only help you so much. But, that said, if that's the case, a guide may be well worth it to you.

Since you will be arriving at a lake you've never been on before, and you only have a few days to catch fish... a guide can really be a big help. Without a guide, you could spend several days just trying to find out where the fish are.

Also, keep in mind that most guides are great anglers themselves. They spend all spring and summer on the lake and surely know what works and what doesn't.

Here are some things to discuss with any potential guide to give you a feel for whether or not you might want to hire him:

-The type of fish you want to catch -Whether you're looking to catch lots of fish, or just trophy sized fish -Has the guide ever fished for the species you're after? -What technique will the guide expect you to use?

This is what you'll typically get when you hire a guide:

-Expert advice on the best locations to fish -Expert tips on how to best catch your fish -A deftly prepared, delicious shore lunch

You must decide if the above is worth paying the price for a guide.

But another option to consider is that you can hire a guide for just a day or two (be up front about this) and then use his (or her) advice on what to do the rest of your fishing trip. This will save you some money and still get you that expert advice you're looking for.

Now, if you're going on a fly-in fishing trip to a lake that you know (from your research and talking to others) is chock full of fish... you probably don't need a guide! There, I even answered your original question for you.

That's because many of the remote lakes have so many fish that even a beginner couldn't help catching all they want.

How much does a guide cost?

You can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $200 per day plus a tip of around $25 per person.

So, it simply becomes a matter of how much help a guide can be to you, and whether you're willing to pay for the service.

There, now you can decide if you want to hire a fishing guide.

Another short reel fishing review
X-Caddis, Brown


The Brown X-Caddis flies add a Z-lon tail to the classic elk hair silhouette to create a trout fly that is irresistable to feeding fish. Born in the fly fishing waters around Yellowstone, this dry fly has been proven effective wherever caddis live. Fly fishers should consider having this fishing fly in multiple sizes and colors for a variety of fly fishing situations. In the right sizes and colors it can also fool fish looking for a hatching mayfly.


Price: 1.25



Griffith's Gnat


The Griffiths Gnat is fly fishing's classic midge cluster pattern and has caught fish all over the world. Its simple design is buoyant and irresistable to feeding fish. This fly excels when midges are hatching and mating on all types of water. Even picky tailwater and spring creek trout will inhale this fly when nothing else seems to work.


Price: 1.25



Hemingway Caddis


Fly fishermen consider the Hemingway Caddis Fly to be the classic sedge fly pattern. Your dad may have had one of these great fishing flies his trout fly collection. The Hemingway Caddis has a low and realistic caddisfly profile and is effective for fly fishing to rising trout in flat water sections or spring creeks.


Price: 1.25



Muddler Minnow


Muddler minnows or sculpins form a significant part of the diet of most large trout. This fly is the classic sculpin pattern and continues to produce large fish all around the world. Fish this fly with an erratic fleeing motion near the bottom and see what shows up on the end of the line. This fly may also be dressed and floated as a hopper in a pinch.
