Pretty simple question.

Do you prefer to have a guide or not?

When Bob Auger was still managing the semi-famous
DePuy Spring Creek, near Livingston MT,
he once told me he had been studying the booking/report
logs, which showed customers who hired guides averaged
(during July, when the most bugs were hatching)
11 fish per day more than customers who fished alone.

During late August and September, which are traditionally
tough on the spring creeks, the difference was hardly
noticeable.
