I have to fish by myself so a guide fee for a day is all i can afford. I always hope a guide will realize a client not splitting the trip is already in pretty deep. Wouldn't he rather you come fishing than just feel priced out by addition of a tip? True, I am always by myself and did notice they allow two people..

Wouldn't he rather you come fishing than just feel priced out by addition of a tip? I'll answer that since I think I was your guide a couple times way back.  Yes, a guide would always rather have a trip than not. As Richard mentioned a tip is not expected but always appreciated.

I take 4 or 5 trips a year. If the guide gives good service and I learn from them, they get s good tip. If I get hit with hidden fees that were not explained to me me ahead of time that eat away at the cash I brought with, not much I can do. But I always tip at least a little. Some guides deserve way more tips than others!

I have tipped everytime except once. Guide was not feeling well and wasnt engaged. Was getting short strikes so switched to smaller baits and finesse gear that I brought. Bad mouthed the brand of lure that I was using. Only thing good about the trip was when we got off of his boat.

Guiding is a customer service deal, if you think you guide went above and beyond his rate throw him a tip.
