[QUOTE="bigv, post: 103952, member: 835"] Ive guided on and off here in northeast SD. I'm thinking DL is similar to my area. The problem with the dream that we've all had...is that it's not just fishing everyday. You make decent money guiding each day but big money is in rentals. You would need to build some cabins and probably a diner of sorts to feed clientele and even the public who come for a peaceful meal.. To have a place to eat someone needs to work around the clock making meals. If you want to save money..you do it. To save money guiding...you do it etc. You can't imagine how hard and hours that the owners actually put it. Don't think about the rainbow dream of sun going down on lake and you are out in boat with super rich clients blah blah. I have the same dream but I also helped with an outfitter years ago on a hunting/fishing lodge and I saw how the money pours out. Loved it but very tiring because did most work ourselves to avoid having to pay someone. However...if done right and smart it can be not only doable but profitable. [/QUOTE]
