I don't think the "hook & hand off" should be legal.

If I am an intermediate to advanced angler (and the bite is on) and I don't catch fish than the guide is not doing his job.

If the guide wants to fish for himself that is fine, but is he truly helping the client?

I am paying for a service, not for a free trip for the guide. If the guide puts me on fish, can navigate the river and fish (for himself) then all the better.

But if everyone is catching fish (my guide included) but me, then I want more "Personal Attention". Show me the Kwan!
