Seem to remember hearin of a few, I think a couple of them were in the forks area? Also think that I heard about some Indian guides on the Quinalt that do bank fishin guided excursions. Price always seemed a lil steep tho... Happy New Year Sincerely, Roger _________________________ "Man can learn a lot from fishing.

He also does float trips but I've seen him in the canyon with his clients also. You could probably reach him at Pritchards at (360) 673-4690. I always see him getting his clients into fish. ~steelymann~ _________________________ ~steelymann~ Father of Nikolas Fischer Mann

Or will they just have to be "bankie" approved? What's next; in the newest state restrictions to prevent a guy from earning a honest living????

Really fun guy to fish with, he'e more into teaching than any guide I've ever fished with. He grew up fishing the Kalama, so he knows the rivers down there. _________________________ Support our Troops! Will tie jigs for beer...

prometheus Egg Registered: 12/31/02 Posts: 2 Loc: vancouver, wa	Wow.. I was assuming there would be an abundance of bank fishing guides in this area. There IS a niche that needs to be filled. Maybe when I retire in about 20 years I can fill that post.. Until then I simply want to catch a steelie! Thanks for the input ya'll. If there are anymore guides that do bank fishing, I'd love to hear about them...especially ones that like to teach rather than simply catch fish.
