Thats whats disgusting about many steelhead guides especially on rivers like the cowlitz. Its all about limiting out.. That is a wrong mentality for a fisherman or a guide. If all you are in it for is the meat then go play golf and buy fish at the market.

I of course are more opinionated than most so brace yourselves.

It is wrong for guides to fish and the practice should be made illegal. A guides job is to teach people how to fish you can't teach someone how to do something by doing it for them... This is a horrible trend to see in guiding and points to them being extremely lazy and NOT doing their job. If I was on a trip and the guide wanted to fish without my saying so i'd be angry end the day and refuse to pay for the trip.
I'd also be upset if all the guide wanteed to do was pull plugs all day.
The purpose of taking a guided trip is to learn you don't learn anything if the guide does all the work. Like i said this is about guides being lazy which makes them very poor guides.. I find it thuroughly disgusting and should be illegal.
