1/22/2012 10:58:00 PMI gotta say. it is really strange to see a Lake Chelan fishing Guide and sponsor of this sight. Leave a fishing report for a guided trip on Lake Chelan. And the available fishing Guide and phone number listed at the top of this page, for fishing Lake Chelan, is not yours, but another Lake Chelan guide!
Isn't that like paying for advertising but another guide gets the plug? Like having the competitor Guide's phone number on the side of your fishing guide boat instead of yours? I know you do not make up the rules, but this has got to be strange from your and other Lake Chelan guide's stand point?

1/22/2012 11:27:00 PMYou make a very good point MotoBoat! It's funny you bring that up because I was just talking to another Lake Chelan guide about that this morning. The rule on that is first come first serve. Darrell and Dads Guide Service was the first one to lay claim to the Lake Chelan report page therefore they get the advertisement. I have my advertisement at the top of the page on a stretch of Lake Roosevelt. Although I dont guide there, I guess it's still advertisement none the less. You're right though, to someone reading the latest report on Lake Chelan it looks an awful lot like it came from the advertised guide service

That said, the reports that each guide posts have their information/web site link at the bottom of the report, which is designed to encourage our guide sponsors to post regular reports. Hopefully down the road we can improve the system further.

Must be more than one report page location for Roosevelt. I guess all the bennies come if your first to advertise. Really makes a guy in your position want to scratch his the head in bewilderment.
Thanks for the explanation Mike. Still does not seem fair if all 3 guides are paying the same rate. The guides name and number stands out more so above the report, at the top of the page. It is like a billboard. When compared to locating near the bottom of the report. Not to mention the phone number is hidden behind the link, instead of included in the report. Hopefully this kink does get worked out. Otherwise wait til D&D retires or sais........hey let's take turns up here.
