One of my reason's I only tip $25.00 on a $175.00 trip is the fact that I supply my own rods and gear,bait so basically all the guide is really doing is rowing me safely down the river and some times saying cast here or there.If my truck is not used for the shuttle then I will pay for the shuttle and still cover the $25.00 tip.Which add's up to what floatin' fool pay's out usually.When a guide is getting two clients and $400.00 per day that's good pay,the problem is it's not every day or even 5 day's a week so it makes it tough.Good luck,
