I am sorry but if a guide was to go thru some training just to put people in there boat and "motor" down the river then each and every person who gets on the water should go thru the same training. I see more and more fools out there on the water every time the fishing gets hot. A lot in boats that do not belong on the water there fishing on. Yet I see no guide stickers on there boats. Of all the boats that had trouble at astora last yearmy friend at the coast guard said none had a guide sticker on them. So all I am saying is if it is good for one then lets all get in on it.
