Hi guys. My name is Peter Dorn and I confess I've been a lurker for to long. Trouble is I work to much & don't fish enough. This has to change. I have a guided trip coming up on the OP later this month and I was wondering how much should I tip the guide? Any help?

Do a search in the archives there was a lenghty discussion on this one

Welcome!

Its totally a subjective thing. If you really thought you got great service and want to tip, give what feels best/is affordable for you. Most guides do not expect tips though the best ones usually get them. I've seen anywhere from nothing up to $100 for a single day trip.

I think that 15-20% is certainly reasonable.

In the off-chance that this newly-delurked member is unaware of the search function here at Piscatorial Pursuits, I went ahead and did my own search and came up with the following thread:

"tipping your fishing guide"
