Gratuity

[DonInDenver]

For me it depends on how I feel I have been treated as a client. The guide can't control the weather, the mood of the fish, the water conditions, or whether I can actually catch the fish that he or she puts me on. But he can control the amount of effort he puts into getting me on fish, and the amount of effort he puts into teaching me how to be most effective. If I have a guide who works hard to give me a quality day he gets at least 10%, as a minimum, more if I think he has gone the proverbial extra mile.
