| What Does it Take to be a Fly Fishing Guide? | About Fly Fishing | |||
| <p>I was asked by a reader the other day what it takes to be a professional fly fishing guide.</p> <p>Being an fly fishing writer first, and a part-time guide who doesn't always charge the guys I "guide" on our fly fishing trips second, I thought about the question for a bit before I responded.</p> <p>After thinking about it for awhile, I said it comes down to passion, and being passionate about fly fishing and guiding.</p> <p>Isn't that the case with most jobs/professions/hobbies we get into?</p> <p>If you have the passion, the next thing to do is get the equipment, and most importantly, learn the waters around your area and make a name for yourself.</p> <p>After all, you can't buy expertise.</p> <p>Fish every second you can and get to know those waters better than anyone, so when you do get a client or two to take fishing, they have success and are going to want to spread the word.</p> <p>Word-of-mouth marketing is huge in any line of business, particularly for fishing guides.</p> <p>Those were my initial suggestions for a beginner looking to get started in the fly fishing guide business.</p> <p>I said I'd pose the question to the community and see what the full-time guides have to offer.</p> <p>Make your suggestions in the comments section below.</p><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border:1px solid #d5d0bf;clear:both;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://flyfishing.about.com/b/2010/03/02/what-does-it-take-to-be-a-fly-fishing-guide.htm">What Does it Take to be a Fly Fishing Guide?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://flyfishing.about.com/">About.com Fly Fishing</a> on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 00:52:32.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://flyfishing.about.com/b/2010/03/02/what-does-it-take-to-be-a-fly-fishing-guide.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://flyfishing.about.com/b/2010/03/02/what-does-it-take-to-be-a-fly-fishing-guide.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://flyfishing.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://flyfishing.about.com/b/2010/03/02/what-does-it-take-to-be-a-fly-fishing-guide.htm&zItl=What Does it Take to be a Fly Fishing Guide?">Email this</a></p> |
