Please fell free to read the following testomonials from some of Bruces annual anglers!
Over the last ten years I have fly fished from Alaska to Chile and Mexico to the Bahamas. I have had many good experiences with fishing and the guides. Some are bad, some are good, a few are very good and then there is Bruce Chard. I have been fishing with Bruce for the last five years, on average two to four times per year. He is a great fisherman, wonderful teacher, very professional, and a lot of fun to be with. He works his butt off to help you have a great trip, period. I would highly recommend him to anyone, at any skill level that wants a great fishing experience!

I've been blessed to have traveled and flyfished from the Patagonias to Alaska, most Carribean locations and the lower "48". I've witnessed many good and not so good guides/captains in my time.BRUCE CHARD is at the TOP of my list!!
Some of those "not so good" guides soured my view on the Keys. Bruce has made a believer out of me! I've experienced my BEST tarpon, bonefish, and permit days with him--- in the Keys.
