Wet Wading with Moose

I’ve been packing for three weeks of hosting Yellow Dog clients in Africa for tigerfish the last couple days.  I leave on Thursday and not back until November 18th.  I not only need to be prepared for my own fishing but when hosting you need a lot of extra stuff so that if a guest … Read more

The Annual Guide Get Together

Twenty years ago I started a tradition while running the Jack Dennis Fly Shop.  The annual event was an end of the season bash with my shop and guide staff.  We put at least six boats on the South Fork and fished to Heise Hot Springs.  There we had a huge celebratory dinner and stayed … Read more

Fly Fishing for Shovelnose Guitarfish

Last year while speaking at the Simms Ice Out in Bozeman, Montana I met Alex Ramirez, a fly fishing guide and instructor.  Last night while speaking to The Sespe Fly Fishers in Ventura, California Alex surprised me by showing up.  He’s since moved from Montana to the Ventura area and catches a lot of fish … Read more

Chasing “Beans” in the Southern California Surf

Granny and I rolled in to Encinitas, California late yesterday afternoon.  We came down here because tonight night I speak to Golden State Flycasters.  Our early arrival gave us a little time to screw off including a night on the town at the local sports bar where we watched a thrilling Sox Tigers game.  Then … Read more

A Few Casts in Corona Del Mar

I’m getting more time on the water on this speaking tour than I expected.  I wandered down to the jetty in Corona Del Mar this morning in hopes to catch something – instead it’s the first skunk of the week.  It was still nice to get a few casts in. Jeff Currier Global Fly Fishing

Fly Fishing for California Carp

The speaking to Fly Fishing Clubs down here in Southern California is going well.  I’ve done three nights of talks and next week I’ll do four more.  But this weekend I’m off and I got out fishing today.   I couldn’t tell you where we were.  Take two turns and go through a traffic light … Read more

Morning Surf in Santa Barbara

Last night all went smooth speaking at the Santa Barbara Flyfishers.  I’ve spoke there before and have gotten to know many of the members.  Our host was Joe Narkevitz and during dinner before the meeting he offered to take me fly fishing in the surf early this morning before I head south to speak in … Read more

On the Road Again

The 2014 speaking circuit begins early for me this year.  This morning it’s off to Southern California to begin a ten day speaking tour.   As always when I head to Southern Cal, a few rods and crab patterns are packed for a few early mornings in the surf.  Should be fun.   Just in case … Read more

Who Needs a Rod?

If I become any more forgetful with age I’m in big trouble.  Friends Tim Brune and Josh Gallivan and I decided to fish four miles from the house.  Just incase anyone needed to bail early we each took our own cars.  When we got there I realized I forgot my rod.   Last week on … Read more

Locked out of Flat Creek – You’re Kidding?

I had errands to do in Jackson today so I figured to throw in a few hours of photography on Flat Creek on the National Elk Refuge.  I badly need some rising fish photos and thought I’d creep through the tall grass and get a few shots from close range.  I invited a couple friends … Read more
