A Weekend in Canada

blog-March-21-2014-jeff-currier-speaking-in-canadaA fun weekend in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada with the Chinook Waters fly Fishing Club has slipped by in a flash.  I drew on a heap of Cliff Fly Boxes, entertained and taught seminars all Saturday then whooped it up with club members for a showing of the f3t fly fishing film during the evening.  I also ate a plate of poutine that left me rather full!  A big travel day up, a full day of speaking and a extended travel day home that didn’t get me to my bed till midnight has slumped back in my easy chair trying to figure out if I should run, ride the bike or just rest up today.

 

Next on my agenda includes fishing.  On Wednesday I’ll fly to Virginia to meet up with the Mossy Creek Fly Fishing boys.  They are generously treating me to two days of fishing.  For what I’m not yet sure.  Then Saturday it’s another all-out day of seminars at their shop.

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!
