    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.

Hosted Trips

Grab your fly rod and take off on an adventure with The Fly Shop® crew. We've been there and back, and around the world more times than Carmen Sandiego! Our guides, lodges, and outfitters always roll out the red carpet for guests of The Fly Shop®, and when you're accompanied by one of our staff, that carpet usually has some extra "bling."

Seychelles

Seychelles

The Seychelles is home to the finest saltwater flats fishing in the world, with countless trophy bonefish, and the best Giant Trevally fishing anywhere. It is also home to countless other exoctic species, including triggerfish, bumphead parrotfish, Indo-Pacific Permit, barracuda, grouper, and many others. We will be hosting two different weeks at Farquhar Atoll, about 450 miles south of Mahe, capitol of the Seychelles. This destination is on the bucket list for any serious saltwater flats angler. Space is very limited, so please give usa call as soon as possible to secure a spot!

Kamchatka

Host:  Mike Michalak

I've spent a portion of nearly every summer since 1994 in Kamchatka. For 2013, I will be doing two exploratory wilderness float trips on the Savan River. Last year I was one of the first Americans to ever fish and float the Savan, and I can't wait to return and learn more about this fantastic fishery. The first session will be a twelve-night float, starting at the top of the river and drifting all the way to the bottom, exploring every riffle, pocket, and pool for the river's aggressive rainbow trout. The second trip will be another exploratory adventure, scouting out the never-before-fished right fork of the Savan. Reports from a few intrepid Swedish anglers who hiked up the lower end of this drainage several years ago indicate that it may hold the best fishing of the entire system, and I can't wait to find out!

Kamchatka

This summer The Fly Shop® will be hosting a handful of trips to the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, home to the finest rainbow trout fishing in the world.

Host:  Michael Caranci

I will be hosting three different weeks in the Kamchatka wilderness this summer, one week on each different type of program we offer: a fixed camp week on the Sedanka, an exploratory wilderness float on the brand-new right fork of the Savan River, and a week at the one-and-only lodge on the peninsula, Zendzur Lodge on the fantastic Zhupanova River. The fishing on all of these rivers is as good as it gets.

El Pescador Lodge

Belize

The Fly Shop is hosting two different weeks at El Pescador in Belize in 2014. This is Grand Slam Country, where we'll spend every day searching the flats of Belize for bonefish, permit, and tarpon. All of these amazing saltwater species are available this time of year in the flats surrounding El Pescador on Ambergris Cay, (including resident tarpon from 60-100 lbs!), and anyone fishing with us these weeks will have a good shot at hooking all of them... maybe even in the same day for that elusive Grand Slam! El Pescador is a fantastic angling retreat, and also a luxury resort where non-anglers can enjoy everything from relaxing poolside to a host of adventurous eco-tours. Give us a call for more information.
