I felt the farmhouse shaking from the wind and heard the rain spattering the window in my bedroom all night from here in the south of Iceland. I’d roll over and laugh. My nickname is “Monsoon Currier” throughout the world so what the heck. Regardless of the menacing weather, Ingo and I headed to Strengur … Read more
We awoke to an incredibly nice day here on the banks of Lake Thingvallavatn here in Iceland. The sky was mostly blue and the vast lake was calm. Nonetheless it was time to leave here for a few days. The Fishpartner crew, Kristjan and Bjarni had to return to work and it was time for … Read more
We didn’t get to bed until almost 2 AM last night. The lamb chops Kristjan and Bjarni made were splendid and Ingo’s red wine was a perfect match.

Instead of a fourth day on them Gentry took us to some park ponds near his house. Nearly every body of water around Phoenix … Read more
Granny and Gentry’s wife Michelle skipped out on the fishing and went for a hike. Gentry and I hit numerous canals throughout the day for grass carp. Conditions remain tough be we managed to catch three. I love these fish! Jeff Currier Global Fly Fishing
We Currier’s could get used to this Arizona living during the winter months. We love hot weather and sunshine. Toss in easy walking fishing in shorts and flip flops and the only thing that would make it perfect is if the fish were big and tough to catch. Bingo! Grass carp can be a pain … Read more
Granny and I arrived in Phoenix early evening Thursday night. Rather than hook up with friends, that night we got a hotel.

However, this week home time would be short because I had to return to the show scene. This weekend I was booked to give two days … Read more
