Fly Fishing for Tigerfish

by | May 26, 2013 | Uncategorized

blog-May-26-2013-1-fly-fishing-for-tigerfishI’ll be hosting two trips to Africa this fall to fly fish for tigerfish.  The dates are November 2-9 (FULL) & 9-16 (Five spots left).  This trip will be with my good friends in Tanzania of Tourette – Fight it in Africa. Your booking will be arranged by Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures and you can contact me or Yellow Dog for details about the trip.

 

This incredible hosted trip will likely be a one time offer.  Disputes over permit fees, land access and etc made securing spots for 2013 tremendously difficult.  It’s possible that access to this mind-boggling fishery could completely disappear in the near future.  It would be sin to let this get away if you love exotic fly fishing or dream of catching a truly large tigerfish!

 

blog-May-26-2013-2-Jeff-Currier-tigerfishingAfter tigerfishing extensively throughout Africa, the tigerfishing in Tanzania is the best I’ve ever experienced.  This specie of tigerfish (Hydrocynus Tanzaniae) is particularly large.  Ten pounders are common and tigers up to TWENTY POUNDS are caught often!  Best of all they are abundant here and attack flies with vengeance.

 

blog-May-26-2013-3-flyfishing-for-tigerfishMany of you remember Confluence Films last movie Connect where I was the lucky guy landing numerous tigerfish and in the end caught a true monster.  This is the place!  To see and hear more check out my blog of late October and early November 2010.

 

I hope you can make it!

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!
