With many fisheries in decline, it has driven most guiding to indicator fishing.

I imagine that the cost of everything related to guiding is going way up too.

Some of these guides in the Delta now have ~$100,0000 in serious fishing boats.

A friend who fished the Lower American River forever said there used to be a dozen or more guides on it.

Now he sees very few other than the Shad run.

For the average folk going out with a guide is getting too high but that is not anyone's fault.
