Just talked to my buddy tonight and he was down there today on the Clearwater, he landed two, one 8 lb, and one around 10 lb, his friend lost one in the North Fork, and landed one somewhere else that was 17 lbs. Lots of then rollin around out there he said, but the "bite" isn't on as he claims.

To your original question.... Jack's response of 50 bucks is about right for a good day w/ a good guide.... somewhere 25 - 50 is reasonable.

I fish the CW 4-6 times each winter.  Generally we average about 2 - 4 a day for the boat.  That's usually drift fishing or bobber fishing.  I think you can do a little better w/ shrimp tipped spin-n-glos on a diver if your guide knows what he's doing.

Only been down there once this year.  It was colder than a well diggers butt.....  ice in the guides etc.  8 hours the 3 of us only got 1... 34" doe.
