    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.

International Family FishCamp™

Family FishCamp™ is working with Alpenview Wilderness Lodge on Kodiak Island in Alaska and El Pescador Lodge in Belize to offer an extension of our acclaimed Family Fishcamp program... in the wilderness!

Alaska Family FishCamp™

Alpenview Wilderness Lodge is located on the south arm of Ugak Bay on a remote part of Kodiak Island. The mid-summer dates that we have available to us are perfect for family travel plans, and provide some great fly fishing opportunities for a variety of different species in both fresh and salt water.

Using a variety of sea-worthy watercraft, Dave Jones and his team of top-notch guides access tidal estuaries and creeks that are teeming with chum salmon, pink salmon, sockey salmon, and even some dolly varden. There are even some great saltwater fly fishing options for rockfish and halibut. And, you never know when a chrome-bright king salmon, coho salmon, or steelhead might swim by.

Every day at Alpenview Wilderness Lodge is filled with fishing the diversity of the great Alaskan wilds. At the end of each action-packed day, guests will return to the lodge where the guides and instructors will conduct casting clinics and workshops on some of the tactics and techniques utilized for fly fishing in Alaska. Meals are served overlooking the bay, and then the vices will come out and the whole family can sit down and tie flies under the tutelage of capable instructors.

The atmosphere at Advanced Alaska Family FishCamp™, as with all of our Family Camps, is based on a wholesome family experience. In addition to the fantastic fly fishing options, Alpenview offers some great family oriented non-angling activities as well, including wilderness sightseeing, kayaking, arts and crafts, and hiking.

Lodging at Belize Family FishCamp™


On September 4th 1974, the first guests checked into the newly finished lodge to start a long history of world renowned fishing. In 1997, it was purchased by brother and sister Logan and Ali Gentry.

In 2004 Ali's parents, Chris and Steve Spiro, joined her in Belize. The recently constructed one, two and three bedroom luxury villas add a completely new and unique dimension to the El Pescador experience for travelers seeking privacy with all the amenities of the original lodge. El Pescador's fame as a flats fisherman's paradise, as well as resort for all adventures Belize, continues to grow and improve with time. The hosts live at the lodge to assure quality service around the clock. The lodge has three fresh water pools for the guests enjoyment.

Each of the thirteen guest rooms in our main lodge face the sea and are just steps away from our swimming pool adjacent to the beach. All have private baths, overhead fans and air-conditioning.

Upgrades are available to El Pescador's lovely villas which have stunning views of the beach and the Belize Barrier Reef across an open expanse of turquoise Caribbean Sea. They are two story, 3-bedroom, 3-bath homes, designed in a lock-off configuration, which enables you to rent a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom villa to perfectly match your individual needs, while ensuring your complete privacy.
