I should have stated earlier that you're paying your guide to be just that, a guide. Guiding includes safely operating the boat, and doing all the little things (as stlhdr1 pointed out) that makes your trip successfull. If the guide can do all of that *and* fish, so be it. Fine by me. If fishing impears their ability to get down the river safely, or to operate whatever boat (sled or drift boat)correctly, and for me to have not a good time, then no, I won't let them fish.

Fortunately, I can vouche for Bob. Yes, he can operate his boat and *still* fish at the same time! wink

I'll be the the first to say I'm not proud. If any of you hook a fish and want to hand the rod off to me, well all I can say is, cool! Fish on! wink

Yes, I have a problem. I am a fishing addict.
eek wink
