Thanks to the modern world I’m in a time warp. Only hours ago I was shooting meadow voles in the back yard and now I’m 8,000 miles from home in Dubai, United Arab Emirates listening to the call to prayer. And as planned, I’ve already relished in some fishing. ...

To say I had a fun day of entertaining the fly fishers of Virginia on Saturday for the Mossy Creek Fly Fishing 12th Anniversary Party is an understatement. The day was an absolute hoot from 8AM till the wee hours Sunday morning. I gave the PowerPoint presentations...

My annual roosterfish trip to Baja isn’t so annual lately. Last year I missed the body-bashing trip for the first time in years because I took on a mahseer project in Bhutan. Then three weeks ago my 2015 trip was cancelled because my roosterfish companion, Sammy...

For those of you on the East Coast, I’m sorry, but our weather here in Idaho has been no less than phenomenal. Other than one day it’s been in the 50°s and 60°s for the two straight weeks I’ve been home. The one cold day it snowed 8” and I got in a fantastic cross...

Someone commented at the Pleasanton Fly Fishing Show last week, “Man Currier, you’ve been on the road since early January”. Then he laughed and said, “No that’s not true, you’ve been on the road since you quit the fly shop in 2009!” The dude was correct. In...

The old red Explorer was limping badly when we started this West Coast speaking tour (Victor – Seattle – Portland – Tracy, CA – Pleasanton, CA – Fresno, CA – Victor). Every mile we put behind us is a relief. It’s the transmission that’s going. On the highway the...

I’m back on the road again. This time I’m driving because its twelve days of West Coast talks. I’ll start this weekend with the Fly Fishing Show in Lynnwood, Washington and head south from there to California. I have a couple one night gigs including Tracy Fly...
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!
