Revisit “Guide for the Gulf?”

0

16 years ago, following Hurricane Katrina, the fly-community bonded in a relief effort to help guides and charter captains whose lives were upended by the storm.  Guides from the East, West and Midwest donated one day of their guiding to a pool that was distributed among Gulf guides.  We held an online auction.  We raised about $100K and made a big impact.

Hurricane Ida just slammed into Louisiana on August 29—16 years to the day after Katrina.

Angling Trade stands ready to play a role in any effort to help.  We, as an industry, need to assess the needs, and figure out how to help.  Please contact us if you have something already going, or want to pitch in.
