I don’t have much experience with guides but I’m guessing it can be a tough business, especially for clients who just want to “catch” as I don’t have to tell you both that even the best of us can’t guarantee that the weather, or fish will cooperate on any given day.
That is why I have always guaranteed my trips, it takes the pressure off if for whatever reason, it isn't happening I just say maybe next time and everyone relaxes. Now out of a season with 140 client trips, I might giveaway 4... And most of those because they would not / could not set the hook when I told them to... My most popular trout trip these days is half the day fishing/instruction and half driving around showing the client where to fish and how to fish each spot. I most often include a map that gets marked up as we go, so they can find their way back...
