Some twenty-five years ago when fishing in a lightening storm on the Henry’s Fork (hatch wouldn’t stop) a shot of electricity crackled through my fly rod and jolted me up to the elbow before I threw the slender graphite stick and ran for my life. The terrifying moment seemed like a close call and I … Read more
It’s a long drive from Victor, Idaho to Fort Smith, Montana and the famous Bighorn River. About eight hours even if you don’t make a wrong turn. Personally, unless I have a week on the Bighorn I stay home to enjoy my own fantastic trout waters. But ask me if I’d drive eight hours to … Read more
June 30 & July 1, 2012 It’s rare that I would catch myself going to Yellowstone National Park to fish any time near the 4th of July; however that may change for the future. My friend Michigan Mike is visiting through Sunday. We pounded the Henry’s Fork earlier this week then to Texas Creek and … Read more
June 28 & 29, 2012 Like any wise angler I don’t advertise where I’m going fishing when its one of my sneaky favorites. If I get caught on the way and someone asks where I’m headed I usually make up something fast. But at 6 AM yesterday when on the way an acquaintance yelled out, … Read more
Only the craziest hardcore dry fly anglers in the world would fish the Harriman Ranch of the Henry’s Fork on a day like today. Winds were steady at 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. There were times when your 16 foot leader and dry fly would lift off the water. For ten hours … Read more
Grant and I had a blast fishing together today but our fishing was lousy with only a couple casts to roosters all day. It was a fabulous trip however and here’s a few more pics to look at as I fly home to Idaho to return to the Henry’s Fork. Jeff Currier Global Fly Fishing
June 22, 2012 I’m very limited on time for writing so today will be short and sweet. We got a nice early start. Along the way Grant spotted a dead rattlesnake in the road so I took this close up of his diamond pattern – kind of cool. We’re always careful when cutting through the … Read more
June 21, 2012 Roosterfishing off the beach down here in Baja is incredible. I love the hunt. I love the difficulty. I love everything about chasing this exotic looking saltwater fish. But nothing excites me more than tossing flies over coral heads and rocks through frothing surf for big snappers and grouper – nothing! These … Read more
Now that Sammy and I both have big roosters for the week we have very little pressure on us. Grant Hartman drove us a long way today to some unknown beach as kind of an exploratory day. The dirt tracks were beyond rough and the roadsides showed just how hostile this Mexican Baja desert can … Read more
With my hawg rooster behind me I stayed low today in hopes Sammy would get his. I didn’t want to do anything to lessen his opportunity. At 2 PM after a very slow windy morning on the beach, Sammy got his fly right in front of a dandy. 30 minutes later, I shot this photo … Read more
I’ve been coming to Baja for almost twenty years now. I love to catch all kinds of cool fish, but the main target is generally roosterfish. I take roosterfishing a step further and go for my roosters off the beach – sight casting only. It took me eleven days to catch my first quality rooster … Read more
