March 24, 2012 Seeing the Orcas yesterday was spectacular but the only thing Sammy and I wanted to see today were marlin. Sammy literally sat ready to cast his fly for 9 hours and all we saw was one striped marlin of about 175 lbs that didn’t tease in for a cast. The Galapagos Islands … Read more
Day 1 on the Water Today was day one on the water to catch a marlin on the fly. Most people laugh when I tell them you can catch a marlin on the fly. “Yea right Currier. You can’t catch a fish that big on a fly rod.” Then there are those who think they … Read more
March 22, 2012 I can’t believe I’m in the Galapagos Islands. I studied this place in sixth grade. We learned about the cool animals unique here but my teacher never said “Hey, some day you should go there.” She’d never been and she taught about the Galapagos like this was a fairytale place no normal … Read more
Sammy and I landed in Guayaquil, Ecuador a little after midnight this morning. We were scheduled to get here at 9:45 last night but this is South America. Set times are rarely met like they are in the US. Like after any long as heck trip we were both exhausted by the time we settled … Read more
Hopefully the hardest part of the journey to the Galapagos Islands was the drive across Wyoming yesterday. I crossed the border of Idaho into Wyoming four miles from my house and trudged my way up and over Teton Pass over snow covered roads. Those four inches of snow in Victor added up to over a … Read more
Christmas seems like years ago, yet somehow I hardly remember winter. I’ve been ridiculously busy. I’ve hardly fished. My skis never went out. I only ice fished once. No more! Today I get back on track! In about an hour I’ll be starting a five hour drive to Casper, Wyoming where I’ll meet up with … Read more
Granny and I made it home from California Monday afternoon. The Pasadena Fly Fishing Show was yet another good one and the minute it ended at 4:30 PM Sunday afternoon Granny and I pointed the Explorer towards Idaho and took off. Our only stop was a three hour nap around St. George, Utah. Since then … Read more
March 1 & 2 Sorry for the lag in blogs here folks. The California road trip has taken its toll. It’s been great but finding time for anything other than being prepared for the next show and the variety of presentations I’m doing has been hard. Granny and I snuck in some fishing and relaxed … Read more
Granny and I should have been driving the Route 1 along the coast of California first thing today but instead we were sitting in an auto glass place in Novato, California. Last night I gave my presentation “Four Seasons of the Yellowstone Trout Bum” to the North Bay and the MT. Tamalpais Fly Fishing Clubs. … Read more
Been too busy to post. Had a heck of a weekend doing presentations in Fresno, California and then for the Fly Fishing Show in Pleasanton. Then today I finally got to take a break. A break where Granny and I got treated to the California Delta and some striper fishing with Ben Byng. Good stuff! Jeff Currier … Read more
Granny and I are on our way to Fresno, California where I start a ten day speaking tour. Whenever I do a multiple day road trip by car I take a good look at the towns I may end up overnighting in along the way. I check them out on Google and search out a … Read more
Heading for California for the biggest leg of the winter road trip. Looking forward to seeing many of you along the way. Should be fun and I should get some fishing in between shows for stripers and surf perch. Jeff Currier Global Fly Fishing
