| Just curious as to what do all the guides do in the winter to make money and put dinner on the table.
I plow snow (only went out three times this year), and do construction on the side! |

| I work a lot of sport shows. My main job in the winter is working security for the NBA. I work at the Timberwolves games, a great gig. I also do some PI work. I am a retired cop and the security business is good after the disaster of 9/11. I am in no way making light of this tragedy and would rather not have the work, but it happened.
Good luck, Murph |

| Well, I'm a full time Firefighter/EMT/HazMat Technician for the city of Rhinelander, here in northeastern Wisconsin, so that pays a couple of bills.
But when I'm not doing that or guiding, I build custom rods (talk about a good hobby gone bad, I've got 4 orders sitting on my desk now). I also write for a couple of websites on fishing and other outdoor subjects.
I wish that either my wife would come up with a better paying job or I could guide longer each season, then I'd say buh-bye to the ol' FD!
But there's a couple of things in the works that might allow me to do that and concentrate on fishing more :)

| Thanks to a long time client I lecture on Corporate Emergency management and leadership.I Have had the opportunity to travel to many foreign countries and meet a lot of very interesting people over the last several years.Why they listen to an "old" fishing guide is still a complete mystery to me,but Im not going to complain.From December through April it keeps the wolves from the door.Come the merry month of May im back on the water where I belong. |

| I teach kids with behavior problems (much like guiding?) in a k-9 school,do some homecare work on weekends,but once the first week of June rolls around on the water I go,and go untill you can't launch a boat.

| I own a painting contracting business, so I do some painting myself over the winter to help bring in more money. |

I am a full time fire fighter with the City of Marshfield, and the Union President so when I am not guiding and fishing that gives me all the work I want.
