Title: Fishing guide in Alaska!
Post by: groundhog on April 11, 2008, 07:56:13 AM: This is a long shot but I thought I would post this. I just found out that one of my guides will not be able to return to Alaska for the 08 season.
So I am looking for a potential fishing guide to work in a remote wilderness flyfishing camp in Alaska.
Applicants must be a team player with a good work ethic and attitude and be willing to learn. Experience in flyfishing and powerboat operation and rowing in a river is preferred although I am willing to train the right person.
The job starts in early June and we finish up in early September. Wages depend on experience. My guides make good tips and I provide round trip airfare from Seattle. You can check out my website at alaskaflyfishingcamps.com This is a great opportunity for the right person.

P.S. Mods- If this is against the rules just nuke it!

DANG what an oppurtunity for someone.

Post by: groundhog on April 11, 2008, 08:46:31 AM: It really is a great opportunity for the right person. Most of our guides have been with us for years. You have to have another job or passion that keeps you busy in the off season for it to work for any length of time. Some of the off season jobs for some of my crew are Hunting guides, Ski lodge/ Ski Bums, Teachers, and some are College students. We don't mind training someone as long as they plan to be around for a few years. Thanks

He's a little crazy, but I think most Alaskans are after a while. He is great with people and very respectful. If your position is still open I could PM you his contact info.

Here is a reference link to one of his You Tube Videos. (Capt. Steele) is his stage / screen name. lol
