I do the guided thing on the Quinault and usually once a year with Bob for salmon and steelies.

I might fish with other "guides" just to fish with, but hey, it's not my fault that all my fellow fishing buddies are "guides".

The salmon trip with Bob is for the benefit of my Dad.

The two spring steelie trips (Bob & Tribal) are for my benefit. A treat to myself.

It just so happens that my fishing time has seriously gone down the toilet lately. Only going to get worse when "The Boy" arrives.

I have not fished much lately. Alone, guided, or with a "guide".

Oh yeah, and Dad has ponied up for us to fish with Bob this summer on the Kasilof! Wooo! If Dad is paying, I'm fishing! How could I say no to that?!
