Well Im just about to finish grad school and have no real job prospects in my field. Im making finding a job a lot tougher by refusing to live anywhere near toronto. But I was thinking of trying to work as a guide at a lodge this summer. Does anyone have any experience or input as to what type of place I should look at. Also when looking into a prospective place what are the questions I should be asking and what to look out for? Best case know a lodge looking for a guide??
Appreciate any help
listen to trapshooter he is the man for great guiding advice.
the way i got my job guiding is back in january i got some email adresses togther of areas/lakes that i would like to fish or have fished and emailed them my c.v stating i wanted a job as a guide. out of 25 lodges i emailed only 2 called back .so i would start looking right away,i know at the lodge i will be working at as soon as the ice leaves we start work. well goodluck to you and remember to take alot of pics
at this rate i think in october-november were gunna have to make a guide meeting so we can share eachothers stories and photos

wayne same thing is going on here in montreal on the st lawrence and riviere des praries
sometime next week the cost guard will be passing the ice breaker since the shipping season comes to a start very soon. who ever ventures out is better to stick with the back lakes .. most cabins were taken off the ice here today

sounds like the sled was either flooded or your running it too rich. change plugs and see what happens...sleds rock mine does 118mph top speed on gps lol.. nice sleds though the artic cat is my favorite
-
im sure you would do good..especially if lets say you dont catch fish you offer a discount..but especially where you live and will be fishing you have so many oppurtunitys..salmon..trout.. basically anything that swims lol.beach babes ..well good luck hope it all works out
-
if you have a backyard with a fence at home id just store it out back..with a nice lock on the fence doors..that way he has nothing to complain about..or park it on your lawn lol its not considered your driveway

oneday when i get a truck il have to bring my yammy down to your place and have a yammafest
-
when i go which is about 4-5 times a year i always bring back my limit, i dont even have time to freeze it and my dad mom and sisters have eaten everything all up.. but i let all the big ones go i only keep between 13-16 inches they are the best mmmmmmm
-
where are you going to baie du sud ?looks like a very interesting place
-
il have to disagree
on my 2 stroke ski doos every 7000-10000ks i take it apart check pistons replace all rings and rebuild whatever needs to be replaced why you ask? for peace in mind, id rather replace all the rings when my compression runs low than have a blown motor down the road.

Renegade 600. Reliable.............. never had a prob, just rolled over 6000km.
Not as much a Summit fan as the Renegade, although either are good machines. Like my slightly wider ski stance and the happy medium between trail and powder.
awesome thanks...
-
awesome report moosebunk like usuall
is that a summit 700 you have?is she reliable..im looking into a longtrack for my up north ice fishing excursions.

Gouin Reservoir....lots of walleyes but small in size. Slot limits are unheard of here in Quebec. Most of the time, I hear "put back the small fish and keep the big fish". I guess that someday, someone is going to wake up. However, you can have a lot of fun renting a house boat.
If you want large walleyes, go to Ontario where there are slot limits. You can eat walleye until you burst and have fun catching and releasing large walleyes.
it depends where on gouin you go to..the sector i fish averages walleye between 2-4lbs and its rare you see people but a houseboat might be some fun
-
does this apply also for fireline or spiderwire?
-
Anyone ever been to Kipawa Lake or Deer Horn Lodge?
Nelly, if you are also looking, here are a few more lodges to add to your list:

Guiding Question
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by carll2
most walleye lodges ive been out to and where i will be guiding you are 6 people in a big freighter styled boat and the guides job is to locate the fish by jigging with the clients,since these eyes move on a daily bassis .also part of the guides job is to catch enough fish for the shore lunch so the clients dont have to use thier limit towards the shore lunch.
i guess it depends for what lodge you are working for!different opinions and ways of working i guess..like they say different strokes for different folks
