If you are going to fishing trip to a remote lake first time you may need fishing guide from the anglers. You will get much benefit from the guides and can frequently be worth having as long as you know just exactly what you're getting. In fact if you are hiring a guide, there is no guarantee that you're going to catch a ton of trophy fish. However the guide will take you to the places known to have fish, but catching them is still up to you.

Guide can only help you so much if you don't have any knowledge what you're doing. In this case a guide may be well worth it to you. A guide can really be a big help since you will be arriving at a lake you've never been on before, and you only have a few days to catch fish. You may spend several days just trying to find out where the fish without a guide.

Most experienced anglers provide beautiful guides that you need to keep in your mind. They know what works and what doesn't as they spend all spring and summer on the lake. Here are some things to discuss with any potential guide to give you a feel for whether or not you might want to hire them:

-The type of fish you want to catch -Whether you're looking to catch lots of fish, or just trophy sized fish -Has the guide ever fished for the species you're after? -What technique will the guide expect you to use?

This is what you'll typically get when you hire a guide:

-Expert advice on the best locations to fish -Expert tips on how to best catch your fish -A deftly prepared, delicious shore lunch

You must decide if the above is worth paying the price for a guide.

But another option to consider is that you can hire a guide for just a day or two (be up front about this) and then use his (or her) advice on what to do the rest of your fishing trip. This will save you some money and still get you that expert advice you're looking for.

Now, if you're going on a fly-in fishing trip to a lake that you know (from your research and talking to others) is chock full of fish... you probably don't need a guide! There, I even answered your original question for you.

That's because many of the remote lakes have so many fish that even a beginner couldn't help catching all they want.
