One of the reasons for hiring a guide is to learn a section of river. They have knowledge of the river from being on it everyday. Some people hire a guide because they do not know how to fish the rivers but would still like a chance at a steelhead. Others know how to fish the river but want to tap into the guide’s knowledge and learn more. Others may want a guided trip on a river they have never been on, this way learning some of the drifts on that river.
With today’s modern technology there are many ways to record this information incase you want to go back to that river next week, month, or even next year.
Do you think it is inappropriate to take a hand held GPS and plot certain locations you stopped and fished with the guide? I do not own a GPS but was wondering if people that have them ever use them on a guided trip?
