Granny and I are fishing long hard days here at Belize River Lodge. We’re happily exhausted from it. Because of this I apologize for short blog entries and falling behind. As always I’ll catch up. There’s not a whole lot to be written of today anyhow. A terrible cold front moved in with a strong … Read more
At 5:15 AM this morning I headed for the Belize River Lodge kitchen for coffee under a sky full of stars. Visibility on the flats was not going to be a problem today. I was so stoked I could hardly concentrate on catching up on yesterdays blog and went on to blow off my email … Read more
After a great evening around the dinner table here at Belize River Lodge with chat about how good the fishing has been it was concerning to hear heavy rains pounding our cabin a 3 AM this morning. I’ve picked up a nickname over the years, “Monsoon Currier” and let’s just say it’s not a good … Read more
It’s been way too long since my last trip to Belize. I’d have to dig back through old journals but I’m guessing it’s been like eight years. I make it sound like I’ve been to Belize often – that’s because I have. Between 1989 and 1993 I went nine times. No I wasn’t rich or … Read more
Today is the end of the longest period of no fishing for me since last February. My wild run on various waters the last two months put me way behind in my work from art, organizing my winter schedule and updating my PowerPoints for winter shows. I buckled down however and have my “work” life back on … Read more
The snow is here which means a little less fishing and a lot more painting. If you need any “Currier” art for Christmas now is the time. I have excellent stock of my famous coffee mugs including many new species such as Yellowstone Cutthroat, golden trout, steelhead, pike, sockeye salmon and more. Let me customize a … Read more
If there’s any fish I’ve gone from being humbled by beyond belief to learning how to catch them with regularity it’s been the grass carp (white Amur). The first time I ever saw one of these sleek vegetarians was right here in Arizona. They were cruising the urban lakes but I couldn’t catch them. I … Read more
With the seminar behind it’s all about fishing my last two days here in Arizona. Today Steve Berry had a motorcycle race so it was Cinda Howard and I on the urban assault of the Phoenixarea. Our destination was one we’ve been fishing together for almost ten years. I’m honestly not sure the name of … Read more
I put on a full day fly fishing seminar for Desert Fly Casters down here in Arizona today. The group I taught consisted of all levels of fly fishers. I started with a basic fly casting demonstration and ended the day with the double haul. Not all casters believe the double haul is necessary but … Read more
Not much time to load a blog tonight as it’s late and I am giving a full day seminar for Desert Fly Casters first thing in the morning. The fast and short is that I’m settled in with my friends Steve Berry and Cinda Howard down here in Mesa, Arizona (See Not all Carp are … Read more
A year ago my popular coffee mugs were close to extinction. Now, thanks to my friend Harvey Cohen of the Fly Fishing Show Room, they’re all back. Even bigger news, now they’re available with any fish you want. Anything! In a matter of a few days we’ve added the Apache trout of Arizona, a steelhead … Read more
I ran the Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for over 20 years. Those were some of the best years of my life and I made many lifelong friendships. At the end of each season we had a fishing party. Almost everyone went on the fun day. We caught a lot of fish … Read more
