Charter tipping

[The Jackel]

That canoe tipping joke works for Albertans too

Ah so this is where you have been hiding, get your butt over to the Canuck thread Derby also said you squeeze a nickel till the beaver ***** before he can pry it from your hands

Ok so here is the deal tipping guides is part of the culture and it has been FOREVER if you don't like it tough luck go play a round of golf. If you wanted to do away with tipping expect to pay a couple hundred more per day for a trip up north. Please note this is for lodge guides and not owner operators. I built a clientel over my years and I always went the extra mile for party. Coffee how they liked it, cold beverages on ice, dry seats in the am, fishing the way they wanted. Trying new places fly rods for big springs, all kinds of stuff. Way above the status quo. but then again I guided people who appreciated this and they were happy to throw a little grease under the wheels.

i got the opportunity to fish with mikep.. deseved a tip for sure!! let me run light gear because we new e were only into 10-15 lbers.. until i broke the rod. lol
even broke a main shaft trying to stay over a nice hali!!

what pissed me off was the guy we were with was an el cheapo....
