i am a south west wa.fishing guide.tipping to me is not at all expected but greatly appreciated.a few examples of a day on the river.you go out with your clients have a great day,get your limits early,the clients think your great,give you a generous tip,easy day for me and got a nice tip.then theirs the days when the fish aren,t co-operating,you fish for hours without a strike,clients are wondering whats the matter with this guy and your fishing your arse off. somtimes,but not often you get skunked.some clients leave dissapointed no tip given.worked twice as hard as the other example,but we all know thats fishing.i will keep fishing till dark or they tell me to go home if nesesary to get my clients some fish,not because i want a tip but i want them too come back.that is far more important to me than a tip.most of the time my day runs about 12 to 14 hrs.i also enjoy it very much,enjoy meeting new people, and if i was in it for the money i would try something else. scott
