Fly Fishing Guide Jobs
(October 2009)
I am trying to give visibility to fly fishing guides jobs. If you are a guide looking for clients or an angler looking for a guide then you can post here about yourself.
An interesting graph of jobs is this one:
Fly fishing guide jobs improved 546% since February 2008 it says. I am not sure whether it means really what I understand it says, that is jobs for fly fishing guides have soared. I don't think the trend is correct because the recent crisis (I am writing in October 2009) has had the opposite trend in my opinion: more people perhaps LOOKING FOR jobs as guides rather than more people looking for guides.
Well, I might be wrong. So I checked for jobs for geologists, a job market I know since I am one, and it seems correct ("Decreased 22%")
Conclusion: take the guides trend for what it is, it might give you a hope, but don't overestimate it. In the end it's a niche market and so very locally based. It might work in one area and not in another one.
I think you might get some more insights if you look at books like Best Jobs for the 21st Century
. In this book I could not see any suggestion for fly fishing guides.
Anyhow, I know two fly fishing guides working in Italy, Tuscany:
One is Massimo Magliocco, a professional guide I wrote already about; then Moreno Borriero who is also a bamboo rod maker and a guide in the Sansepolcro area and Tuscany.
Update (November 2009): this fly shop in Colorado is looking for fly fishing guides.
In any case here is the form you can use:
