Riversong Lodge Employment

Experience:

It is important to remember that guiding is not just the act of helping someone catch a fish, but it is a service industry. You will be required to be helpful, kind, and sincere to our guests. Even though all of our applicants share the passion of fishing, it does not necessarily make them an excellent guide. A skilled guide should be able to communicate with their client, passing on their knowledge and skill. Great client days are not always measured by the number of fish caught, but the knowledge gained, memories created, and experiences shared.  Our guides NEVER fish while guiding.

We will fish two major rivers and some small streams and sloughs. There will be a learning curve as there are several different species of fish, as well as a variety of water. Guides will go through training and river orientations. We do not expect our guides to be experts on our waters.

We are looking for guides who have past guiding experience, trout and salmon species, as well as boat experience. Well-rounded fishing knowledge includes terminal tackle  and  fly fishing.

Equipment:

We operate with numerous boats and almost every day our guides will be operating a boat. Boating safety and handling is an everyday responsibility. We are not off to the races to see who catches the most fish. Safety is always a priority!

WE DO NOT TOLERATE DRUG OR ALCOHOL ABUSE AND PARTYING IS NOT ALLOWED. WE ARE A REPUTABLE ESTABLISHMENT BECAUSE OUR EMPLOYEES ARE DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS.
