Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    We had a great day! We counted 10 Jacks and a couple Mackerels. We could barely lift our arms after. Those Jacks fight! Our captain and first mate were great and knew their stuff. This was our highlight of PV. Thanks guys!

    Trip: 4 Hours Inshore

    15/10 will go again! Thank you Captain Erasmo and Captain Zabdiel . Even though it was my first day on salt water and first time casting a 10 weight, they were able to level up my Colorado-grown river casting techniques to the saltwater experience. Within minutes of launching they had me on fish. It was a humbling and awe inspiring experience. They know the gear, the flies, the tides, the reefs, the techniques - everything it takes to get fishers on fish! They kept it light and fun and thrilling. And kept me focused despite the whales breeching around us! What a memoriable day on the water. And thank you Captain Experiences for connecting me with such phenomenal salt water fly fishing guides and making the entire process seamless (guide selection, payment, easy sourcing of license, and even fast text responses to my detailed questions). Highly recommend finding your next experience through Capt Ex!!!!
