Big Horn or Guide pristine waters where boats are not allowed.

trade to use and to promote the use of certain safety equipment.
How to protect your clients from their own equipment by

so you need to be able to read the water as well as to be

working in places where people are paying up to six thousand
dollars to be there for just one week of fishing and your
getting paid to take them fishing!
2)
Outboard and or Jet Propulsion Motor Boat Training.
(Alaska Training)

50% of the tuition is non-refundable. You have
3 days to cancel from date of purchase for a 95% refund.
This
training is orientated towards Guiding in Alaska. There
are only 3 ways to travel in Alaska. Boats are one of the
main sources of transportation in many remote areas of Alaska.
You either fly in or use a boat to get to your destination.
The most popular type of boats used are flat-bottom full
welded hulls with Jet propulsion outboard engines. With
this craft you can navigate waters that are six inches in
depth. It is common for bars to move and shift. The Jet
boats allow you to skim the water to allow you to get over
the bar with just 6" of water or more. It sure beats
having to drag a heavy boat over that bar!
This
class is orientated to what you may experience in Alaska.
Alaska
is the place you will receive the most recognition as a
Professional Guide. You get Alaska under your belt , you
can pretty much bet you will be the top candidate of any
Guide Job you apply for!
Alaska
waters are considered the most dangerous waters in the world.
We will prepare you to be prepared for any situation that
may come up. Once you land a job in Alaska you will join
a small group of people who are esteemed Professional Guides
earning a living Guiding in Alaska as Professional Fishing
Guide. All Guides dream of being able to go to Alaska to
work. The Youghiogheny is a great river way to train future
Alaskan Guides because of the challenges it offers are very
similar to many of the water ways in Alaska. In addition
