I was tossing and turning at 5 this morning and finally gave up the fight. The big laker I’ve been after all week at Jenny Lake must have been calling me. At 6 I was loading my Exploder and heading back to Grand Teton National Park in darkness. By the time I arrived...

A weather change wasn’t in the forecast but today we woke up to clouds and wind. Granny’s off and I asked her if she’d be up for hiking into Jenny Lake with me. However, she knows how possessed I get when I’m on a big fish mission and she opted not to join. But...

Rick Schreiber and I went back to Jenny Lake before sunrise this morning for a reason, something I didn’t mention in yesterdays blog. We saw a big fish, a lake trout over three feet long. The sighting didn’t happen only once but in fact we saw this big fish several...

My friend Rick Schreiber, the master of Jenny Lakein Grand Teton National Park, emailed me saying he saw hoards of lake trout on Jenny yesterday. As you know by now, I have a soft spot for fly fishing for lake trout. My response was simple, “Let’s go.” Rick and I...

Many of you have kept track of my Dad since his brain surgery for Parkinson’s disease back in August. I very much appreciate everyone’s concerns and emails. As you know his recovery didn’t start out well. My short trip to New Hampshire to be with Dad where the...

Camping at Last Chance on the Henry’s Fork wasn’t the most popular idea amongst the friends that Granny and I were meeting up with Friday night. Nighttime temperatures were predicted to drop to an agonizing 3º. But the friends included Evan Schwanfelder, a past fly...

Every year I donate to the Jackson Hole One Fly for its fundraising events. Normally I give a painting of a Snake River Cutthroat, but I’ve done these for several years. This year I decided to present something different. I offered “Carping with Currier”. Any One...

I thought the forecast this week was leading into the equinox storm, the few days of cold bad weather that after it passes we don’t see the 70ºs again until May. It’s also the storm that knocks all the colorful leaves off our trees. Fortunately however, the unstable...

If you don’t love winter but you live in Idaho, wasting the last day of summer isn’t an option. That’s why I headed fishing to Jenny Lakewith friends Rick Schreiber and Andy Asadorian. We had clear blue skies and the temperatures were in the high 70ºs. The only bad...

Dragging bottom in our blue-bathtub-looking drift boat down the Upper Nunya wearing a new hat the last couple days was a dream come true for me and Granny. The summer of 2012 escaped us back in August. The last time just the two of us spent a weekend fishing was...

The blog has been a bit quiet but this will change now. I simply needed to catch up on a pile of work after being away a month for Dads surgeryfollowed by immediately jumping right into the Jackson Hole One Fly. Now my work is under control and I even relished in...

September 9, 2012 Sorry for the lack of pics but I never put down the rod today! I was fresh and ready to finish the job of winning the One Fly for the “Good Times” team this morning. I slept fairly well. I munched a massive breakfast at The Lodge at Palisades...
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!
