Lower than Low on the Lower Nunya

Some twenty-five years ago when fishing in a lightening storm on the Henry’s Fork (hatch wouldn’t stop) a shot of electricity crackled through my fly rod and jolted me up to the elbow before I threw the slender graphite stick and ran for my life.  The terrifying...

Bighorn River Alliance Carp Tournament 2012

It’s a long drive from Victor, Idaho to Fort Smith, Montana and the famous Bighorn River.  About eight hours even if you don’t make a wrong turn.  Personally, unless I have a week on the Bighorn I stay home to enjoy my own fantastic trout waters.  But ask me if I’d...

Fly Fishing in Yellowstone National Park

June 30 & July 1, 2012 It’s rare that I would catch myself going to Yellowstone National Park to fish any time near the 4th of July; however that may change for the future.  My friend Michigan Mike is visiting through Sunday.  We pounded the Henry’s Fork earlier...

There’s Big Browns in Texas

June 28 & 29, 2012 Like any wise angler I don’t advertise where I’m going fishing when its one of my sneaky favorites. If I get caught on the way and someone asks where I’m headed I usually make up something fast.  But at 6 AM yesterday when on the way an...

Henry’s Fork Marathon 2012

Only the craziest hardcore dry fly anglers in the world would fish the Harriman Ranch of the Henry’s Fork on a day like today.  Winds were steady at 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph.  There were times when your 16 foot leader and dry fly would lift off the water.  For...

Another Grande Rooster!

June 22, 2012 I’m very limited on time for writing so today will be short and sweet.  We got a nice early start.  Along the way Grant spotted a dead rattlesnake in the road so I took this close up of his diamond pattern – kind of cool.  We’re always careful when...

Fly Fishing Baja for Snappers

June 21, 2012 Roosterfishing off the beach down here in Baja is incredible.  I love the hunt.  I love the difficulty.  I love everything about chasing this exotic looking saltwater fish.  But nothing excites me more than tossing flies over coral heads and rocks...

Fly Fishing for Roosterfish – Day 3

Now that Sammy and I both have big roosters for the week we have very little pressure on us. Grant Hartman drove us a long way today to some unknown beach as kind of an exploratory day. The dirt tracks were beyond rough and the roadsides showed just how hostile this...

A Baja Trip to Remember

With my hawg rooster behind me I stayed low today in hopes Sammy would get his. I didn’t want to do anything to lessen his opportunity. At 2 PM after a very slow windy morning on the beach, Sammy got his fly right in front of a dandy. 30 minutes later, I shot this...

Finally!

I’ve been coming to Baja for almost twenty years now. I love to catch all kinds of cool fish, but the main target is generally roosterfish. I take roosterfishing a step further and go for my roosters off the beach – sight casting only. It took me eleven days to catch...

Henry’s Fork Streak Continues

Thursday June 14, 2012 I arrived at Last Chance on the Henry's Fork at 4 PM and before 4:30 I caught this awesome rainbow on a Pale Morning Dun.  It’s not easy to take a pic of a huge fish by yourself but you can see he was fantastic.  Thursday’s fish was on the...

Welcome to the Blog of Jeff Currier!

Contact Jeff

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!
