Sportfishing has always been an important industry in the Everglades area. Cottages on the west bank of the Barron River were built by fishing guides from Chokoloskee to be closer to their anglers staying at the Rod & Gun Club. In the 1950s and 1960s the cottages were occupied by Charley Boggess, one of the area’s foremost guides, and his extended family. The banner is a photo of the sportfishermen at the Rod & Gun Club.
