It wasn’t easy getting up at 5 AM in Montreal. For Granny and me 5 AM is like 3 AM. But then flashes of huge brook trout in Labrador entered the brain and next thing I knew we were at the Provincial Airlines flight gate. This flight originally wasn’t so early but...

We had smooth sailing from home to Montreal. Believe it or not Montreal is only a bit more than half way to McKenzie River Fly Fishing Lodge in Western Labrador from Victor. That’s how far north we’re headed. Tomorrow we’ll fly to Wabush, Labrador on Provincial Air...

If you wondering how the heck the Currier’s have pulled off yet another incredible trip – it goes like this. . . . As most of you know I spend three months of winter on the road speaking at the Fly Fishing Shows and fly fishing clubs throughout the USA and...

I vividly remember sitting in dads lap back in the late 60’s and early 70’s on Saturday afternoons watching sports. The minute The Wide World of Sports was over, on came The American Sportsman with Curt Gowdy. My absolute most memorable episode was when Curt had Lee...

It’s a specialty of mine getting folks to fish for more than salmonids. Here in trout filled Idaho we have excellent fly fishing for carp but the challenge is getting people to do it. Even one of my business partners in Fish and Game Art Gifts, Harvey Cohen, who...

I’ve never seen more than one other boat on Maddon Creek but today we saw five. Float fishing is more popular than Rock “n” Roll these days and when the water is small, five boats competing with each other makes for a very slow day of fishing. Luckily, on ladies day...

It’s good to be home trout fishing again, and today was especially good to be trout fishing on one of my favorite lakes, Island Park Reservoir. Best of all, I was with my buddy and lake fly fishing expert, Phil Rowley from Canada. Phil has quickly become one of the...

Our boat seemed abandoned and until these past two days my new silver 1991 Explorer had yet to take us fishing. I don’t like being away so much in the months of June and July but that’s the way it panned out. Monday night Granny and I headed off on our favorite...

The smoke was back this morning at Selwyn Lake Lodge. There was so much of it that there was concern about flying out on our way home. But although we were late, not leaving till 5 PM, we made the first leg to Stony Rapids on the Beaver. Departing at 5 was in a...

It was time to begin the journey home today and wouldn’t you know, there was no smoke and not a cloud in the sky. I was aggravated to say the least knowing that if today were yesterday we’d have flown to the Sand Dunes and Hunt Falls. But sipping coffee outside my...

6 AM came early but we had a full day of flying planned to some special places, the Athabasca Sand Dunes and Hunt (Lefty’s) Falls. There was some fishing involved too. The flats in front of the Sand Dunes for pike then Arctic grayling at the falls. But the venture...

RA and Austin got so much great pike footage for the movie yesterday that it took the pressure off. Everything on their list got shot and I mean SUPERB stuff. And the epic day must have worn us out as well because I stayed in bed this morning till 8 and RA and...

Ron knocked on our door at 7 this morning and said he was already called to fly and work. That was the bummer to start the day. Furthermore, Brennan was guiding. We had big plans and couldn’t waste the day so RA, Austin and I got permission to use a boat. RA...

We could have done better with our time today. It was no ones fault but we didn’t fish much. It’s simply that the fires down south keep getting worse and worse and closer as well. The smoke finally showed up here and its clogging the lungs badly. Ron got...
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!
