I am under the impression that the laws governing guiding vary state to state but in general you will need to have a spefic species, strategy and location that you can focus on and be successful with consistently (ie flyfishing for trout on rivers in Colorado) Becoming a guide is probably more realistic in the short run.

To excel in anything it helps if you like it. Before you start dreaming about "The Classic" (and the $500 G purse) begin by joining a Bass fishing club. You will learn most everything you need to know at a decent club. Spend 2-3 years fishing the club scene and WINNING. If you start winning,( in a larger club), you will eventually gain notoriety and MAYBE sponsors. Around that 4th-5th year (if you have the money) start fishing larger tourneys, B.A.S.S, Red-man, F.O.M, FLW, Etc. Sounds easy? It's NOT! Things you will need: 1. A decent Bass boat. You would need "at least" a 150HP Bass-boat to seriously compete. Price: $15-$30 G's 2. Thousand's of dollars in tackle. 3. Entry fee moneys. 4. TALENT, LUCK & knowledge! Check my "starred questions" on my profile for info on guide fishing. Hope this helps? Good luck! Well, first you must actually LOVE fishing. To excel in anything it helps if you like it.
