I've watched this over 30 years. Not the most popular opinion but I don't think paid guides should be allowed on public waters... livelyhood or not. Many of them feel they have more rights than the typical sportsman.
Most recent situation was at Hells Canyon last year. Several of us were bobber drifting from the shore. All helping eachother; having a good time. Guided jet boat roars up 20 feet from the shore and the paying customers start throwing all their crap right in the middle of us... I'm sure you've all seen it in the jet and drift boat scene.
Doesn't have to be that way and all are not a-holes but many are... happens on hiking trails, the rivers, in the ocean, etc.
