Steve is right up there to be sure - I'm going to post my Surfmaster profile of him shortly for those who may not have read it...
As for me, I kept doing stuff until everything together added up to a reasonable income...but as things grew it got to the point where it was just too much.
I liked guiding. I met a lot of very nice people and it gave me real insight into what it is like for beginning and intermediate anglers, which in turn helped immeasurably with the writing. Like a lot of things, it was nothing like you envisioned it would be viewed from the outside.
It just got to the point where something had to go and guiding drew the short straw.
