It is my opinion quality guides are under charging at $150 per person. I fish guides 20 plus times per year and that is still cheaper then owning a new sled and all the gear. Not to mention the number of fish I catch because of thier experience. The best part is no washing boats and gear. Tip your guides well. $50 per trip minimum or $20 per rod. Some guides have a small sled, large sled, and drift boat. Not to mention the tow rig and Loomis rods. This makes it hard for them to keep things going.
