Captain Roger Gendron is an Orvis endorsed guide with over 30 years of experience guiding fly anglers. "I started guiding the waters of Western Long Island Sound in 1989. As a local who spent most of my life in that area, I began fishing the coast of Fairfield County Connecticut 45 years ago and was one of the first guides in the area to specialize in fly and light tackle fishing in shallow salt water." "Now, I practice my crafts on the incredible flats and in the back country of Charlotte Harbor in Southwest Florida. I enjoy tying custom saltwater flies for my clients and writing essays on the topic of fishing and guiding. Dedicated to a quality over quantity approach, Roger has developed a reputation of providing "White Glove" service for his guests for a safe and enjoyable angling experience. Roger is a certified "Florida Friendly" eco-conscious guide through the University of Florida Sea Grant program.
