Some of the best fishing is in this wind! It keeps 75% of the ppl off the water! There are coves to hide in

Thats a tough call. I had a trip rescheduled 3 times on fork last year due to the rain, both of my doing and the guides. He ended up being booked way far out after that and we never ended up going and he refunded my deposit.
Whatever happens I hope you get a good trip in soon.

Reschedule, there's no way I pay good money to go fight the winds and muddy water, the guide will thank you.

Cancel if you're not conformable with it. I'm kicking myself in the arse for not doing the same my last two trips with a guide. I'm not rich and a guide is not cheap. Pay for what YOU want. Yes, I know the fishing can be tough even with good weather but give yourself the best opportunity

Well, we have a trip Friday with grills. I'm not canceling unless he does. I've always struggled on post front blue bird days (like everybody) but maybe he can show us how to catch some anyway or teach us something good. I figure the morning might be tuff but the afternoon bite should get better. Of course I don't think the wind is supposed to be 40mph. I would think the guide might want to cancel on that deal.

Don't cancel ever with a guide. Simply ask to reschedule at a later or next avalable date. Most guides take deposits to cover things like this. Rough weather to one person may not be to the next. If you paid a deposit the guide should reschedule you sir. +1

Do you think one could actually "get out of the wind" on a 25-30 mph wind day? Yes. We did today pretty easily. The worst part was just getting in to areas and taking some spray over the side of the boat. But that's when your rain gear comes in handy On days like Today, and tomorrow.. I usually will put in at multiple ramps throughout the day so we can fish different areas without taking a beating running the main lake. There are plenty of ramps on Fork. Enjoy your trip, tomorrow has potential to be one of the most epic fishing days of the this spring.

Big fish day tomorrow! Full moon of March. Big girls are dropping their pants! This..go back and look at the records for big fish. The vast majority of big fish caught in the spring come from this week on the calendar. Talk to the guide. I'm betting he can get out of the wind and find some big girls. Gman It's true. 3 of the 4 biggest bass I've caught were caught during this week in previous years.

Cancel/Reschedule
Getting wet won't be your friend..no matter how good they say their boat handles rough water.
The TFF never disappoints, always entertaining.

I just have to smile when I see guys making posts about the wind being their friend while they sit behind their computer as the gusts howl over 40.
