Becoming a Flyfishing Guide in Buffalo, Ny?

How can anyone do this? Details of the certification courses would nice. Thank you!

First, you need to get a license NYDEC fishing guide, click here to get started: http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/30969.html. If you plan on fishing from a motor vessel on Lake Erie or Ontario needs to be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard too. Go here to begin to: http://www.uscg.mil/nmc/. It would also require a TWIC, Department of Homeland Security. If you would be using a motor vessel in NY water must also be approved by NYS Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. This is in addition to the above. Click here to: http://nysparks.state.ny.us/ Other states have their own regulations as well as the various federal agencies, including the Interior Department, where the master plan on their land. Before worrying about nothing of the above make sure they possess the skills, knowledge and confidence to teach and guide others. There really is no substitute for experience, determination and love for helping others succeed. You can look at the Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructor program for obtaining quality credentials instructor. There are also guides schools mostly in western states that will teach some basic skills, but generally your bet bet would be to work with and for a guide or operator established.
