It is not uncommon to have guides on rivers all over the world... I have no idea why this would upset anyone. I know I have taught many people to use all kinds of techniques to catch fish on a charter. Then they may never fish with me again.. but I hear back from them that they are doing well on there own boat... and I think thats great... personally I would be lost wading the maumee.. heck I havent fished that since I was 16 years old or so... if I was going to fish the maumee I would hire a guide at least for the first trip... good luck to all...
