I don't mind discussing the prices openly.

All I do now is the instructional charters and there is really not much call for that. Instructional charters are aimed at beginners who need to learn how to cast, learn basic water reading techniqes, and learn how to use an assortment of lures. For that I charge $100 for 3 hours and hope that I get another repeat retail customer.

Steve McKenna took over my regular guiding business last year; he gets $150 for 4-6 hours for one person and $250 for two. I just do not have the time to do that anymore. Between the scouting and the prep for guiding I found it just was not worth it for me. Steve fishes so much there is no scouting time for him - he's got a better pulse on the fish than just about anyone.
