Pretty simple question.

Do you prefer to have a guide or not?

I imagine it would depend upon where one intended to fish. I also imagine
that there are many waters that are accessible to the new-comer, yet the
stream conditions might be unknown to that fisher so he/she might prefer a
guide or a gudie :~^ )

If you are doing a float trip, a guide might be a necessity, while wading
may be just as easily accomplished sans the guide.

As I have never employed the services of a guide, I can't really speak on
the matter authoritatively.
