Fly Fishing Adventures

Jeff Currier's Artwork

At the Denver Sportsmen’s show several years ago I ran into my good friend Jeff Currier. He was working on a watercolor. I knew Jeff was talented; however I did not know that he was a gifted artist. He was applying the final spots on a Snake River Cutthroat that was the best trout painting I had ever seen. I begged him to sell it to me, and he did but with a look on his face like, “I can actually sell my paintings?” Since that day I have commissioned Jeff to paint at least 15 more fish. The paintings are as good as it gets. I could not be more pleased, and they make my fishing room a real work of art.

Jeff Currier's Fly Fishing Adventures

Jeff Currier has been traveling and fly fishing the world for a lifetime. His passion for travel began as a child while exploring North America with his parents. When it was time to hit the world on his own, he left his family and homeland of New England for the Midwest where he studied at Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin. After graduating from college he moved to Jackson, Wyoming where he began his career in the fly fishing business at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop.

Jeff’s need for year round fly fishing led him south of Jackson Hole during the winter. In the late 80’s he found himself stalking the flats of Belize with his summer clients more than two months each winter. When he wrapped up his assignments in Belize, he ventured further south through Central and South America. His addiction to travel grew so immense that he began the routine of wandering some distant fly fishing destination every time he saved enough money. By age thirty, Jeff had fished most of the worlds fly fishing hot spots.

Jeff has spent the last decade fly fishing the most remote corners of the globe in search of the most difficult and rare game fish of the world. Some of his recent travels have been to Venezuela for payara, India for mahseer, Zambia for tigerfish and Egypt for Nile perch. He has presently landed over 250 kinds of fish on the fly in over 40 countries!
