IF IT'S THE FIRST TIME HERE THE BEST THING TO DO IS GET YOUR SELF A GUIDE TO SHOW YOU ALL THE PLACES AND WHAT TO USE COME WINTER THEN, YOU WILL BE FISHING IN NO TIME . OR START TALKING TO PEOPLE FISHING BUT YOU WILL NOT BE NAILING THE BIG ONE TO OFTEN CALL GREG MOSES
Greg's rates are on the homepage for this website. I can't say that I used Greg's services, but generally guides will show what, where, why, and how to fish certain stretches of river. From that guided outing, you can take this knowledge to future outings.
Hey Cutthroat! Welcome. I agree with Piker! Bono could definately cut your learning curve down dramatically. Where, how, and with what are the big questions he'd help you answer.

...and welcome, Ed.
