The fly fishing community is a tight-knit family, always supporting its own. Recently, beloved Captain Owen Gayler was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Gayler is a Texas native and fly fishing guide whose passion for redfish and fishing is infectious. Battling cancer, not being able to guide, and waiting for insurance to kick in have put Gayler and his family in a tough spot.
To offset this, they have started a GoFundMe campaign that the fly fishing community has rallied behind. So far, the community has come together to raise $214,000, just shy of the $250,000 goal. If you know Owen or want to support one of fly fishing’s best, we ask for your help in supporting Owen and his family during this time.
