Yes, guide boats do catch a good portion of the fish. Are they offering a sportfisherman an oppotunity at something we are all entitled to? 3 of the 15 days I spent on the water were donated trips to ........

1. Naselle fish hatchery to feed coho smolts
2. Willamette heritage foundation
3. Emmaus Christian Schoool auction

I gave three days of money making to give back to things that are for the fish. I'm not looking for a pat on the back, yet to enlighten you as to how much give and take occurs from so many of the guides in the industry.

Before I guided, I was on the water three times as much and my boat caught way more fish than I do now.
