Do you spend every day off in the outdoors, or dreaming about doing so? Then I bet at some point you've considered turning that passion into a job and becoming a guide. The inevitable questions should then not the be 'could you?', but 'should you?'
6 years, hundreds of clients and thousands of fish later, I have decided to hang up my boots for good. So how did I find life as a Fly Fishing Guide, what did I learn along the way and would I do it again?
Although this is based on my life as a Fly Fishing guide in New Zealand, the principles and thoughts as easily translated into other outdoor guiding pursuits. In this Part 1 of 2, I discuss how it all started for me, what effect guiding had on my passion and the realities of what it’s like to be a guide.
