I did a search on this and found that although other people have asked for advice on guides, many of the responses have asked the original poster to be specific, so here goes: I'd like recommendations for guides on the Lewis and/or Kalama. I do NOT have a lot of experience or knowledge, and want to learn. I'm currently a gear guy, so I'm not looking for a fly guide. I would eventually like to get into the fly game, but I'm not there yet. I live near these rivers and am interested in learning how to fish them rather than continuing to bungle around like an idiot without ever catching anything  That's getting old. I am happy to C&R and would like to target steelhead, salmon, and trout. So, suggestions? Thanks in advance--I've gained a lot of knowledge from this board and look forward to the day when I know enough to contribute to others!

Originally posted by AuntyM: I'm sure you'll get other recommendations, but my preference for those rivers would be Fishead5. Trust me, he's a real patient person and probably the most positive thinking person I know. 
fishead5@hctc.com Yeah, but does he toss bugs? The guy is lookin' for a bug chuckin' dude. I didn't think FH5 would stoop that low.  (JK) I know what guide I am *not* recommending, after the recent crap I received over that last report.  I'd recommend Stlhdr1, but his only "fly" is the UEC Fly.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

I bet fh5 could toss bugs if he had to. He could probably just pry one out of the egg goo on his boat.

Oh, man.............that hurts. My buddy claims I'm always "fly" fishing............I just use a really big strike indicator (Turbomaster), and a weighted fly ( aka Jig ). And if you think THAT'S bad...........last weekend I was fly fishing for bass. No kidding. What the hell's wrong with me?

Thanks for the suggestions everybody! I have a few people to contact, so hopefully I can begin my education soon. And one day, I plan to make it to the OP and fish with Bob!
