Time to Rest the Casting Arm

It’s prime time to visit Yellowstone National Park if you want a chance at seeing some bears. Each spring, Granny and I take a two day jaunt up to the park and try to see as much wildlife as possible. The park has few visitors this time of year making it a very enjoyable time … Read more

Sammy Gets His Rooster

May 15, 2010 Sixth Day – Rooster Chaos Sammy, Grant and I left early for the beaches this morning. It was our final day and we wanted to make it a good one. In spite of the fact every bone and muscle in our bodies ached as if we are a few of old guys … Read more

Same Island Different Tide

Fifth Day Today we went back to the island. We left our hotel at 4:30 am and met up with Roberto (the dude with the boat that we hire to drive us to the island) at 6 am. The Sea of Cortez was calm and our trip out was smooth and dry. We had high … Read more

Yesterday at the roosterfish beach we met a commercial fisherman that offered to take us to an island that he suggested had better than your average Baja beach roosterfish fishing. Naturally there was a fee for this friendly … Read more

Hard Work, Burnt Feet and Peanut Roosters

  Second Day I woke up sore this morning. I easily walked and ran two miles of beach yesterday in hopes to catch a roosterfish. Two miles should be nothing, but when you do it on a sandy beach with bare feet it uses every muscle in your body. And you can’t believe all the … Read more

Brutal

First Day Catching roosterfish on a fly rod from the beach is one of the ultimate fishing challenges. Roosters are a fish that love to show themselves just out of fly casting range. When you can reach the rooster with your cast, they usually lift their nose at your fly as if they are insulted … Read more

So Long Snow Again

Off to Baja in the morning. Heading out with friend Sammy Vigneri. I hope to report from Mexico but if not expect a full report and photos when I get back. Anything to get out of the Rocky Mountain Horror Weather Show! Should be good!   Jeff Currier Global Fly Fishing web site
