As you probably know, the guide requirements here in Arkansas are minimal to say the least, $25.00 and fill out a form. Theres talk of stiffer requirements which there should be; that would separate the "real McCoy" guides from the wannabe's. I got a license a few months ago mainly to be able to attend meetings and give me something to do one night a month. I'm not even a wannabe.

P.S. I travelled to Flaming Gorge with 15 or so flyfishermen several years ago and met you on the trip. I might even have outfished you by a trout or two.
