Do You Really Need A Fishing Guide?
Copyright 2006 Prepaid Solutions
"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.

Abel Super Series Large Arbor Reels
2008 marks the 13th year Abel has made Large Arbor reels. During those years we have developed the perfect ratio of arbor (hub) size to the overall spool. Too big a hub and thereâs not enough backing capacity; too small and youâve defeated the purpose of a large arbor spool. Super Series reels sizes 6 and larger are built with a Double Pawl System. There are a number of advantages to the Abel double pawl â increased reliability and back-up strength to name two. The Double Pawl System changed our sound . . . going from click click click click to something more like clickclickclickclick. Think of a fine Swiss watch. All Super Series reels are ported (ventilated) using a design that maintains total strength and rigidity in the metal. Super Series reels are also available with a solid frame. Same price. Large Arbor Super Series, Standard Big Game, and Anti/Reverse models feature our classic Stop-a-Sub drag system. Our drag system has virtually no hesitation or stutter . . . all to improve your chances of landing the fish of a lifetime. Some models may be custom fitted with two handles instead of a handle and counter-balance weight. Super Series Large Arbor Reels and Big Game Series Reels come standard with an outgoing click. If you prefer, the click may be removed. Reels are available in your choice of a high gloss Black Coral®, non-reflective matte finish, platinum, gold, artistic, fish graphic or scenic anodized finish and solid finishes. Platinum, gold, solid finishes, artistic, fish graphic and scenic anodized reels are available at an additional cost. All machined parts are made in our factory by Abel â They do not use outside vendors, which ensures 100% quality control. Their anodizing department methodically finishes each reel utilizing a proprietary corrosion-resistant metallurgical process unique to the industry.
