Dont thinks its wrong for guides to fish but how much money are those pros bringing into the community? Probably no more than is already there on a spring weekend. For every person that shows up because of the the pro's, there will be someone who stays away because of the chaos. I'd like to know how many weekend homes will be vacant this weekend.

I dont think this is as huge of an event as some of yall are thinking.... watching people fish from 200 yards away really isnt very entertaining. Majority of your festival attendees will be locals, the avid fishermen will watch live on the internet and be on the water fishing versus driving to watch a weigh in this weekend.
Would love to know who is complaining about guides fishing, I cant imagine the Elite guys would expect someone who also makes their living on the water to not fish. Its a public lake, no reason anyone shouldnt fish, just be respectful to the pros and go catch you some!

I think most of the boats on the lake will be guys potlicking new spots as they follow the tournament on their phones. Are there any new spots to be found on Fork?

Where are you hearing this lot of griping about guides running trips while the pros are on the lake? If thats actually the case it ought to be the guides doing the gripping. Im going to work this week why shouldnt they?

I would not ask a person to cease earning a living just because of a tourney. Hell an elite level pro should anticipate this and find fish anyway.

I'm sure the pros are loving the guides fishing this week. Helps them eliminate unproductive water.

I would certainly assume that some of these pros have been in contact with local guides on Fork. I guarantee they know some of them and look to them for current information.

I don't think the guides fishing will be a problem. All the jack wagons that show up to potlick the pros will be the problem.
