Have you dreamed of being a professional fishing guide?  Successful completion of this program will make it easier to find a job, market yourself, and make more money.  You will have an edge on all other guides because you will be qualified to survive, use first aid and emergency response, and understand the basics of running your own business and dealing with clients and partners. 

Who wouldn’t want to fish for a living?  Our Professional track is designed to put you at the top of this field and give you the knowledge, hands-on experience, and training you need to master this profession and advance your career.

Guide use in the fishing industry is a growing need.  As people have less and less time for outdoor recreation and less time to spend researching their own information on fishing, more and more people are turning to fishing guides to fulfill their recreational fishing needs — relying on professional guides to help them find and catch more high quality fish.
