Thanks for the share. Good read and undoubtedly helpful for many anglers who may be unsure.
I have no problem with tipping, and will continue to do so, and continue to tip more when a guide goes above and beyond. I still wish that the U.S. would move away from tipping and that the cost actually be added into the price. I mean across the board; taxis, waiters, service industry, barbershop, fishing guides, everything. Then I know the cost, and I can provide a small tip if the guide goes above and beyond, and I can choose not to go with another guide and leave a bad review for poor guiding but the guy still gets paid what it takes to cover his work for the day.
