We have threatened getting a guide a few times...i may have to bite the bullet and just do it.
The Lake Familiarization is a trip which includes the 5 hour class on Eliminating Water (as described by Elwood) and then 3 hours on the water covering whatever area we can where you normally fish on Ky/Barkley looking at many high percentage spots, going over high percentage techniques for different times of the year and doing a little fishing on whatever is the prevailing pattern. This costs the same as all my 8 hour guided trip.

I do teach the "Eliminating Water" class as a stand alone class during the winter, normally in January and February but sometimes do a few in November depending on how bookings and weather looks. The price of the class by itself is 100.00 for one person and 150.00 for two people, I only teach one or two people as I like the one on one instruction..I believe you will get more out of it that way. I will be advertising the classes for this winter starting around mid October in my weekly fishing report and will start taking bookings for the winter classes at that time.
