I agree with you completely Jerry... Guides would rather have a picture taken of the fish because a picture lasts a lifetime and says a thousand words... The San Juan River, for example, does have a "Daily Bag Limit" of one fish, 20 inches or better, per day... But what happens when their clients catch that 20" or better fish and keep it??... They're done for the day... Guides want their clients to have fun and catch as many fish as possible within the limited time they have those clients... And as you put it, "if you're not catching fish, you won't be talking up the trip to your friends, or make a return trip with those Guides."
