Nanci Lambert has been in the travel business for nearly twenty years and currently manages Bob McGinnis Travel in Carmel CA.  Bob McGinnis Travel is the oldest agency on the Monterey Peninsula - in business since 1949. Nanci has been chosen by Red’s Fly Shop to sell and promote their fly fishing trips.  She was born and raised in California, spending many vacations in the outdoors; some of those as a Boy Scout Adult Leader.   Nanci is not new to fishing, as her father was a commercial fisherman and she has fished with her husband and sons for many years (let’s not mention her out fishing them all). In the past few years she has found her passion in fly fishing and is now able to combine both of her loves – “fly fishing and travel.” 

Nanci brings her clients to the Northwest for the Introduction to Fly Fishing Program; most of them are ladies and family groups – occasionally a mixed group of both as well as couples. She loves watching clients have a wonderful experience on the river, learning from the guides; and at the resort - enjoying the food, wine, camaraderie and fish stories.    Nanci enjoys cooking for the groups and assisting in the instruction.  After Introduction to Fly Fishing, her clients are ready for Red’s destination travel and she has already taken other clients to places like Alaska and Montana --- adding Belize this year, with more destinations to come.

In her spare time, Nanci can be found spending time on as many rivers as possible. She has fished for salmon and trout in Alaska; trout in Montana, Washington and northern California; and steelhead in Washington and California.  Nanci has formed a ladies fly fishing group in Carmel – “The Fly Fishing Foxes” with an age range from 35 to 75, many of these ladies are new to fly fishing and some have been fishing for years.  She is Fly Fishing Merit badge counselor for the local Boy Scout troop and plans to bring them up to Red’s for a merit badge weekend. She also enjoys cooking and spending time with her family (this includes ten grandchildren) in her country home.
