Was looking for a guide...Craigslist is horriable for that!

Post by surenough » Tue Apr 21, 2009 11:57 pm

So I have been on Craigslist looking for a guide for my son and I and was extremly disappointed in the ethics and attitude some of them have. Slander each other, flag their posts....its ridiculous.#-o Any one have any good guides you would suggest? Any bad experiences on Craigslist?

Thanks guys!!:colors:

Call Herman's Big fish in Everett...They know some guides that are pretty good. 425 252 7920

Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.

I fish with Phil Stephens of Mystical Legends http://www.riverfishin.com/. He is A1. I never got him off of craigslist though. I read his reports at Steelhead U, watched is reply's on another website, and then I actually meet him at the Sportsman show '08. I fished 3 times with him last year, on the Cowltz, and I am scheduled to fish again May 26th. He is remarkable. :dj:

This year I met a guide named Dan Walling of Dan's Guided Trips. I was impressed with him as well. He is not a full time guide and his wife just had a baby. :bom: He is extremely nice and helped teach me. We fished from the bank on the Green. Dan was on another website, although at one time he did advertise on craigslist.

I would imagine that you are looking for cheaper prices since you are looking at craigslist?

This is a good time for fishing the Columbia River-rivers.

Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
