So I get raffle tickets from Henry's Fork Foundation that they want me to
buy.

I give them money every year, so why not?

Then I look at the list of prizes and the big one is "An Angler's Dream"
6 nights, 2 each at 3 different yuppie lodges, and 6 guided days of
fishing.

Well, guess what? That ain't my dream.

If I won I'd just have to give the prize away or something, as these
'beautiful people' places make me a bit nauseous.

As for guides, I can see one in one situation and one only, when you need
the boat and oars, but I'd still rather rent the boat and row myself.
Having somebody tagging along, and giving me helpful little hints on the
Fork is something I want as badly as someone watching in the bedroom and
throwing out love making tips

.... I'm not saying I've nothing to learn, only I prefer to learn on my
own, thanks


There are times when a guide can be handy.
If you want to travel away from home to go fishing a guide is probably the
way to go if you only have a few days to get some fishing in.

Theres no way to know all the coves, knooks and crannies of foreign
waterways.

Even if you rented a boat.... do you know where all the sandbars, logs, and
everything are? I can take someone from out of state fishing here and catch
some good stripers (I'm not a guide)

but it took me about 2 or 3 years of fishing for them to fisgure out where
they school up consistently and how they run.
