    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.

Carpentaria

Australia
By Bill Marts
Release Date: 10/08

Finally, I was on my way to Australia. I could have outfitted a small fly shop with the flies I tied over the last year for this trip. I was trying to keep my fishing expectations reasonable, but the hype and everything I'd read and viewed on DVD had me soaring in anticipation.     Read More...
