I had lovely little jaunt over to the other side of the world over the weekend. Though I had two agonizingly long layovers, one when I arrived in Amsterdam and the second in Dubai, my travels went smooth and yesterday I arrived in Mahe, Seychelles. Its presently 5 PM on Tuesday afternoon. At home in … Read more
It was a bit brisk this morning in northern Wisconsin. 7° to be exact. But that’s ok because I’m out a here. I’m headed to the Seychelles to fish a week at Farquhar followed by a second week at Providence Atoll. I’ve led a few extended trips to the Seychelles over the years that earned … Read more
How time flies these days. Its hard to believe that events, trips, tours, gigs and everything that you plan months if not years ahead come and go so fast. It seems like only a short time ago I was burdened with the stress of being properly organized for the 2025 Fly Fishing Show tour. I … Read more

I wasn’t planning to go dark on the blog since my New Jersey Fly Fishing Show update on January 27th. I figured I’d share travel stories then post my schedule for The Atlanta Fly Fishing Show. Instead, I blew off blogging the entire week and didn’t even post my Atlanta speaking schedule. I guess that … Read more
I’m happy to say The Edison NJ Fly Fishing Show was a good one. My presentations went great and there was lots of interest in the “Currier” art from my fish mugs to the fish shirts and I made time to decorate some packs and fly boxes for folks. The show was a lot of … Read more
