Guides regularly get total newbies to flyfishing as clients, and any

how to flyfish, including casting lessons.


While that may be true of some guides it is by no means true
of all guides. If you're a total newbie and don't even know
how to cast be sure to mention it before hiring a guide.


Bingo! Most guides will tolerate anything and work very hard for the
sports, but things will likely go better if the guide knows what's gonna
show up at the truck. Nobody likes last minute surprises that might ruin a
day. Also, let the guide know in advance if you're physically curtailed
(i.e., you don't want to hike vertical miles, or something like that),
prefer an easy wade, have some uncalled for religious disbelief in nymph
fishing , or anything that would likely affect where the guide might want
to take you.
