    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.

Signature Destinations


Big Ku
Alaska

An innovative approach to trophy trout fishing in Alaska. Big Ku Lodge is nestled on a bluff above its namesake river – the Kukaklek overlooking a spectacular vista of river, lake and sweeping Alaskan wilderness.

Estancia Maria Behety
Tierra del Fuego

Hooking up with a big sea run brown is an emotional fishing experience that defies accurate description. These big brown trout are much like Pacific salmon and steelhead, in that they're most active in low light conditions.

Learn More

El Saltamontes
Chile

Nineteen years ago, The Fly Shop discovered El Saltamontes on the Gorrono Ranch in the Patagonia Region of Southern Chile. The Rio Ñireguao, has proven to be one of the finest hopper-fishing brown trout streams we've ever experienced.

Fraser's Cedar Lodge
New Zealand

This South Island fly fishing Mecca is the no. 1 heli-fishing experience in New Zealand and possibly on the planet. Cedar Lodge is unique, even in New Zealand, and is one of only a few lodges in the country catering exclusively to fly rodders.

Kamchatka
Kamchatka

Kamchatka today, remains basically the same; wild, spectacular, inviting. But words simply don't do Kamchatka justice - it has to be experienced first-hand to be fully comprehended. The Fly Shop® has been going to Kamchatka since the mid 1990's.

La Villa Maria Behety
Tierra del Fuego

La Villa de Estancia Maria Behety is the most deluxe lodge on the Rio Grande. Few angling destinations on earth compare with the sea-run fishing on the Rio Grande. La Villa can accommodate a maximum of six anglers each week.

Learn More

Paradise Lodge
Mexican Yucatan

Paradise Lodge is aptly named. What was at first hailed as the lodge most consistently productive for tarpon and snook now includes outstanding bonefishing in the most scenic and remote flats of the Mexican Yucatan. The new lodge has opened its doors.

Learn More

Patagonian BaseCamp
Chile

One of Patagonia's most diverse fly fishing programs for wild trout is Patagonian BaseCamp, on the banks of the remote Rio Palena. Marcel Sijnesael traveled the world for several years before settling in this hidden corner of Patagonia.
