Читать книгу Fishing For Dummies - Greg Schwipps - Страница 58

Guides are anglers who get paid to take you fishing, and the best guides are equal parts anglers and teachers. A good guide will know the water and a great deal about the fish within it. You can find guides online, in the yellow pages, or through word of mouth at the bait shop or marina. Most can be hired for either half- or full-day trips.

What do you do as a client? Pack sunscreen, rain gear, a camera, and a good attitude. (Ask if lunch and drinks are included; if they aren’t, pack those too.) Pay attention and ask questions. Guides fish their home waters five or six days a week, and that kind of experience is invaluable. Most guides will offer advice on technique, lure selection, and habitat. Costs vary from location to location, but plan on tipping if your guide works hard for you. (Don’t punish a guide for the morning’s cold front that shut the fish down. Even the best get skunked sometimes.)
