2024 Fly Fishing Show Tour Starts Early in Massachussetts

What made this family holiday visit to New Hampshire doable was that my first speaking gig of the 2024 season kicks off at the Marlboro, MA Fly Fishing Show Friday January 5th.  Granny and I drove the van out ten days ago from WI with all our show supplies so we could...

2023 Year in Review

2023 Year in Review

Been a nice visit up here in Wolfeboro, NH over the holidays with family.  I hardly ever settle down for long anywhere and I almost never go a few weeks without my fly rod in hand.  Granny and I have been hanging low, eating too much, watching lots of football,...

Happy Holidays everyone!  Sorry to have gone dark since that last post from Borneo.  Seems a few of you were worried about me and I appreciate your reaching out. (Photo not our house!)   All is good.  I walked in the door of our Hayward, WI house (with our new...

The End of an Epic Borneo Fly Fishing Adventure

The End of an Epic Borneo Fly Fishing Adventure

It didn’t rain last night here in the Borneo rainforest therefore we were able to fish a few hours today before starting our long journey home.  Unfortunately, despite not raining, the Jeromai River was still flowing huge and the color red.  Though we’ve pulled a few...

Disaster Flood Claims More than Another Days Fishing

Disaster Flood Claims More than Another Days Fishing

Both photos taken from nearly the same exact spot 15 hours apart.  To help with the scale of things, if you look close at yesterday one of our boat man is at water’s edge.  You can also use that branch dipping down into the water.  A 25 foot rise!  Disaster!  ...

Battle for the Red Kaloi on Fly

Battle for the Red Kaloi on Fly

With only 2 ½ days left of a nine day fishing trip to the boonies of Borneo Indonesia, the pressure was on to catch my first red kaloi today.  The peculiar species has eluded me and it’s not exactly a hop, skip and a jump to get over here.  Our location is basically...

My New Menace Fish, the Red Kaloi

My New Menace Fish, the Red Kaloi

We left home ten days ago and today was our first full day of fishing.  Hard to believe but true.  There’s been a few hiccups to say the least on this journey so far.  Most caused by horrific rains.  But last night there was no rain and for the first time the river...

Proof that Jungle Fish Feed in Muddy Water

Proof that Jungle Fish Feed in Muddy Water

You could probably tell the way I ended yesterday’s blog that I wasn’t confident in a rainless night.  Things looked good but they looked good the night before too.  At 10 pm the lightening flashes started and distant thunder gained on us fast.  Disappointingly, I...

Rain Steals Another Days Fly Fishing in Borneo

Rain Steals Another Days Fly Fishing in Borneo

“Our fishing should be no less than incredible tomorrow if it doesn’t rain tonight” was yesterday’s blog quote before bed last night here in the boonies of Borneo.  I was feeling confident.  The sky was clear and full of stars.  But at midnight I was woken to flashing...

First Cast, First Fish, Fly Fishing in Borneo

First Cast, First Fish, Fly Fishing in Borneo

We didn’t exactly “roll” in to camp here in Borneo last night easy breezy like I made the end of yesterday’s blog sound it would be.  It was a hellacious 4 x 4 grunt that surpassed the difficult factor I once met on a Bolivia 4 x 4 camp transfer years ago.  While the...

Finally Almost There!

Finally Almost There!

Losing two days of fishing when you’re as far away as Borneo is a major bummer.  But when you originally scheduled nine days it’s not so bad.  The two days spent lounging here in Jakarta wasn’t the end of the world.  My body clock adjusted to the 12-hour time...

No Great Fish Come Easy

No Great Fish Come Easy

I thought my next post would come from the rainforest in Borneo but unfortunately as I was leaving Amsterdam Tuesday evening I met travel challenges.  First was a 90 minute delay on KLM departing Amsterdam for Singapore.  A departure interruption on what was already a...

Its a Long Way to Borneo

Its a Long Way to Borneo

Seems like I was making my last Wisconsin cast minutes ago but the reality is I’m in the KLM Lounge in Amsterdam making the best of a long layover about 36 hours later.  I left Duluth on the 6 pm flight to Minneapolis yesterday then last night caught the redeye to...

Welcome to the Blog of Jeff Currier!

Contact Jeff

I started fly fishing at age 7 in the lakes and ponds of New England cutting my teeth on various sunfish, bass, crappie and stocked trout. I went to Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, where I graduated with a Naturalist Degree while I discovered new fishing opportunities for pike, muskellunge, walleyes and various salmonids found in Lake Superior and its tributaries.

From there I headed west to work a few years in the Yellowstone region to simply work as much as most people fish and fish as much as most people work. I did just that, only it lasted over 20 years working at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson, WY where I departed in 2009. Now it’s time to work for "The Man", working for myself that is.

I pursue my love to paint fish, lecture on every aspect of fly fishing you can imagine and host a few trips to some of the most exotic places you can think of. My ultimate goal is to catch as many species of fish on fly possible from freshwater to saltwater, throughout the world. I presently have taken over 440 species from over 60 countries!
