I average about 12 driftboat fishing trips a year on the Wilson. The shuttle, bait, lunch at a local restaurant, etc. add up to about $50 per trip. In addition, twice each year I hire a local guide to take business clients at $400 per trip.  Some of the friends, family and clients I take enjoy themselves and buy licenses and gear, hire guides and two have invested in new driftboats.

Because of muddy river conditions resulting from new logging roads, I have only taken 2 trips in each of the past 2 years with no paid guided trips. This represents a sizeable loss to the local economy.
