guidespeak new terminology listed below...

ADS gone wild- plain and simple, no doubt about it, guides are universally a breed apart. trying to organize a group of guides is like corralling a herd of stallions…I would equate it to ADS gone wild.

downriggin-this term pertains to deep nymphing where the angler typically utilizes two nymphs, split shot and a large bobber/indicator.

guide cancer-an onset condition or affliction that plagues second or third year guides who just can't seem to get over themselves.

waterside-the '75% of the time' office.

hydrotherapy- the relaxation and insight gathered while waterside. term spawned by Jay Virnoche

did you see that fish rise over there?
