Great thread idea! 23rd season coming up fish guiding Nootka/Essperanza by summer and Heli logging off and on during rest of season. Real cool job that takes me hunting and fishing all over our province.
Your living the dream bro!!!!!That heli logging sounds like a fun way to explore the province.
23 yrs is a long time to be a guide. I thought i was the only long timer around. This will be my 30th yr of guiding......26th in Tofino

GabriolaJohn"UgTug" Not an insult just a great name.
I am another one of those lazy shiftless sorts, I have been a fishing guide, mostly out of the Campbell River area for 43 summers including this one we are just starting. My first full summer was 1970 but I started as a wharf rat in August 1967.
