About the Guide

Who writes this, how we test advice, and what it covers.

Why we started

Anglers sharing what actually works

We kept swapping notes after every trip to the same lakes and eventually stopped pretending that was casual conversation. The first guide went to eleven fishing friends.

How a guide gets written

Caught first, written second

Every technique is tested on the water and verified by someone who has fished that lake. A tip that cannot survive a second outing does not make it in.

How we work

Three rules we hold to

No borrowed technique

Nothing gets recommended unless one of us caught fish using it.

Say what went wrong

The slow mornings and empty nets stay in. They are usually the useful part.

Corrections in the open

Mistakes get fixed on the page, with a note on what changed.

Two updates a month, nothing else

One full fishing guide and one quick field note from the lake, sent the morning they go out.
