Have you learned anything new about yourself and/or fishing in this first season?
I have learned how much patience is involved and how little fishing is involved in the business. I personally try to learn new things and take something from the water every day I can. Whether it's adjusting to conditions to put people on fish or a new lure or niche from a guest.
Fishing isn’t always easy. As a guide, how hard do you work each day and week to make
the best experience possible for clients? Is there extra work behind the scenes?
I work endlessly; basically, there is always something fishing related being done. Behind the scenes work is also endless. Any day possible to be in the office has to be taken. Just an idea of some of the behind the scenes work include boat and equipment maintenance, returning calls, emails, setting up meeting places each day, chasing partnerships, constant driving, invoices, articles, networking, social media, website etc.

To realize this job and make it happen for you and your family, what
does this mean to you personally?
Personally, I feel blessed to be able to put everything into
something I have always had a very strong passion for. I'm excited for the future going forward.
How crazy was it to try this and make it work? There must have been some anxious times?
It was beyond crazy to make it work. Took me roughly a year and a half to set things up and even with the amount of work that I had put in there was still a lot of unknowns.
