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.

What month is best for on a artificial lure fishing trip in Missouri?

    Blake was a wonderful instructor and guide. We knew we would probably not catch anything as this was our 1st fly-fishing experience. Blake was patient with us all especially the 9 and 11 year old. We caught 18!!! Including a rare rather large Brown Trout!

    Amazing day! Derek is very knowledgeable on how to have success in catching trout. We had a blast and caught a totally of 21 rainbow trout. We were busy enjoying the experience the whole time. Book with Derek and you won't have any regrets.

    We fished with Matt, and he was great. We had a large group of 6, including four girls between the ages of 9 and 15. He was patient, put us on fish immediately, and did his best to make sure that everyone caught fish. We had a great time, and if we are ever back here looking to fish, we will book Matt again.
