    Patrick Pendergast - Director of Travel Department
    If there were a qualifications list for the job as director of The Fly Shop Travel Department, the resume for that position would read like Pat Pendergast’s biography. He came to The Fly Shop a little more than a dozen years ago in 1996. He first met Mike Michalak, the owner of The Fly Shop, while guiding in Alaska, in 1986.

Advanced FishCamp™

Advanced FishCamp™ is ideal for those campers who have previously attended FishCamp™ and wish to expand their knowledge and passion for the sport of fly fishing, or for older kids who may be new to FishCamp™ but who have a fair amount of previous experience with fly fishing, fly casting, and fly tying.

In Advanced FishCamp™, we review the basics learned in FishCamp™, then add new concepts, including more work with advanced casting techniques such as the double haul and adding distance to the cast, accuracy and presentation casts, more knots such as the blood knot and nail knot, and advanced fly tying techniques, including spinning deer hair and imitating real insects.

We spend even more time focusing on fishing at Advanced Camp, learning more advanced fly fishing skills, and improving upon fly tying techniques. Since most of our Advanced FishCampers are a little older and more experienced with fly fishing already, we're

really able to cater each camper's individual experience to their personal skill level, teaching new concepts and skills as needed in real-time fishing applications.

The highlight of Advanced FishCamp is the last day of camp, on Friday, when all of the campers join up with some of The Fly Shop's top guides to do a full day drift boat trip on the Lower Sacramento River. The Lower Sacramento River is one of the nation’s premier tailwater rainbow trout fisheries, and our Advanced FishCamper's enjoy a great last day of fishing on the river before meeting their parents for a picnic in the park at Anderson River Park.

Reservations & Rates

Boys and girls, 10-15 years of age, arrive with smiles painted on their faces and sleeping bags in hand with the anticipation of fish.

On the last day of camp your camper will also join up with some of The Fly Shop's® top guides to do

a full day drift boat trip on the Lower Sacramento River.

Getting To Antelope Creek Ranch


Antelope Creek Ranch is located on the northeast side of majestic Mt. Shasta.

Note:
The nearest gas and services to Antelope Creek Ranch are at the town of Weed. If you are running low on gas, please be sure to refill in Weed before continuing on Highway 97 towards the ranch.

From Redding:
Travel north on I-5 approximately 70 miles to the community of Weed. Take the Central Weed Blvd/ Highway 97 off ramp (towards Klamath Falls). As you come off of I-5 you will turn right on S. Weed Blvd and go 3/4 mile to the Hwy 97 turn-off for Klamath Falls. Turn right on Hwy 97 and travel north and east 28 miles to the Tennant/Bray Road turn-off.

Turn right and proceed 12 miles to the ranch entrance, located just after you cross over Antelope Creek and before you reach the town of Tennant. There is a stone entranceway with a sign that reads, "Antelope Creek Ranch".

Turn right in to the ranch (Please close the gate behind you) and drive ¾ mile on a gravel road. Please drive slowly to minimize dust! You will drive past the main lodge on your right, and to the left you should see our log-cabin cookhouse and several large tent-cabins set back in the woods. Travel time is usually an hour and 40 minutes from Redding.

From Reno:
Take Hwy 395 to Susanville. From Susanville take Hwy 44 to its junction with Hwy 89. Turn right or north on Hwy 89 and travel to Mt Shasta and I-5. This will take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn right onto I-5,

proceed to Weed and follow the directions for From Redding. Total travel time will be approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes.

From the Burney Area:
Get on Hwy 89 and follow the directions shown above. Travel time will be approximately 1 hour & 40 minutes.

From Oregon (I-5 Corridor):
Take I-5 south to Weed. Take the N. Weed exit. The turnoff is marked by freeway signs showing Hwy 97 and Klamath Lake. Proceed to the Hwy 97 turn off and then follow the directions outlined in From Redding.

From Oregon (Hwy. 97 Corridor):
Take Hwy 97 south to the Bray/Tennant road. It will be approximately 46 miles south of Klamath Falls, Oregon. When you pass through the community of Macdoel you will be about 14 miles from the turn-off. Mount Hebron Summit is just north of the turn-off. Take the Bray/Tennant road and proceed some 12 miles to the ranch entrance.

The street address for GPS coordinates is 12516 Tennant Road, Macdoel, Ca., 96058 though the ranch is nowhere near MacDoel and only about a mile from the community of Tennant). Please do not rely solely on GPS devices to get to the ranch, as they do not always provide the most direct routes in rural areas such as Siskiyou County.

The lodge phone is 530-398-4755, and cell phone coverage is very spotty near the ranch; cell phones don't get coverage at Antelope Creek Ranch.
