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 an excellent day with Justin. Our target species was Peacock Bass and as promised, Justin delivered. Both of us were novices to fly fishing but Justin was patient and coached us to ensure we were landing fish, and we did!! All day long. Great time. We are looking to coming back next year and hooking up with Justin.

    Captain Dennis is a Silver King master. Fishing with him is an adventure. He made us feel like more like friends than clients and did a great job teaching us how it's done.
