This new video series will spotlight guides and their turf. ‘The Guide’s Guide‘ aims to showcase the personalities behind those who deliver fruitful and fun wildlife experiences. In most cases, the path to becoming a guide is a winding one, and full of good stories.

In this debut episode, Duck Camp profiles Owen Gayler, the brand’s first ambassador. Gayler is based in Port O’Connor, on the Texas Coast, and this video gives viewers an idea of how (and why) he settled on that patch of water. As you’ll see, he is approachable, quick with a joke, and humble. That’s helped him build a reputation as a guide among locals and sport anglers alike.

Check out the video to learn more about Gayler’s journey to fly fishing, the mentors who helped along the way, and what he gets from guiding.
