I did actually give my only two clients thus far a discount, only charged them for one person. I have thought some about lowering the daily rate further; perhaps that's what I need to do; it's just discouraging to me to have to lower my rate to the range of guides who guide on public water. But I may have to.

I had planned on making some videos to put on Youtube, was trying to scrape together the dough to buy a camera, and then one of the clients I had in July bought me an underwater camera with HD video capability to show his appreciation for the quality of fishing...So then a couple weeks later I took a friend fishing, and at one point he said he was moving the camera to a safer spot, and that's the last I saw of it...What's that old saying about if it weren't for bad luck I'd have none?
