Idaho to Montreal – Half Way to McKenzie River Lodge

We had smooth sailing from home to Montreal.  Believe it or not Montreal is only a bit more than half way to McKenzie River Fly Fishing Lodge in Western Labrador from Victor.  That’s how far north we’re headed.  Tomorrow we’ll fly to Wabush, Labrador on Provincial Air then by Otter floatplane to Andre Lake where … Read more

We’re Very Lucky to be Headed to Labrador!

If you wondering how the heck the Currier’s have pulled off yet another incredible trip – it goes like this. . . .   As most of you know I spend three months of winter on the road speaking at the Fly Fishing Shows and fly fishing clubs throughout the USA and Canada (2016 schedule … Read more

Off to McKenzie River Lodge in Labrador

Lake Fishing with Phil Rowley on Island Park Reservoir

Finally on Home Waters – The Lower Nunya

Our boat seemed abandoned and until these past two days my new silver 1991 Explorer had yet to take us fishing.  I don’t like being away so much in the months of June and July but that’s the way it panned out.  Monday night Granny and I headed off on our favorite excursion of the … Read more

Memories from Selwyn Lake Lodge 2015

The smoke was back this morning at Selwyn Lake Lodge.  There was so much of it that there was concern about flying out on our way home.  But although we were late, not leaving till 5 PM, we made the first leg to Stony Rapids on the Beaver.  Departing at 5 was in a nick … Read more
