Granny and I got sidetracked on our drive for Oregon yesterday. We were invited by a good friend to camp and fish his private property. He’d offered this last year too but with my overfilled speaking schedule I had no time to stop. This trip, I promised Granny that I would slow it down and … Read more
As I scramble to get ready to leave and start my show season on Monday, in which I will go for nearly three solid months, I haven’t had time to fish and won’t for a while. This doesn’t mean I won’t be posting however. If something cool comes about I will inform you. Two … Read more
2020 was a year we’ll all remember. It won’t necessarily be for all bad reasons but there were certainly many challenges due to the Covid-19. But for me, hands down, I’ll always remember this year for losing my dad on January 26th. As I review this roller-coaster of a year, I thought it would be … Read more
The question all winter at shows – “How come you didn’t respond to my friend request on Facebook?” The answer is simple – I can’t. FB has a limit and I’m maxed out. To keep up with posts of my travel, art and speaking schedule: “Like” my FB Biz Page: Jeff Currier Global Fly Fishing … Read more
Todays blog starts with a travel tip. In the northern hemisphere, even in tropical destinations, December is December. Its winter and it can get far colder than you may expect. At midnight I turned the fan off over my bed here at the Belize Permit Club. At 2 AM I added a blanket. And at … Read more

April 8, 2011 Fly Fishing in Madagascar – Day 9 We have not stayed still for more than a short nights sleep since we got off the plane here in Madagascar. We have fished every day. But yesterday was our last guided day with George so today we slept in to a whopping 6 AM … Read more
April 7, 2011 Madagascar – Day 8 I literally lit up my computer here to type away at today’s blog and an obnoxious cockroach that was obviously attracted to the light blocked out the screen! Yikes! It would have been worth it if only he hissed as I swatted him away. Shucks! Anyway, there’s not … Read more
April 5, 2011 Madagascar – Day 6 We fished with George again today and will for the next couple days. George filled us in on pirates to start the morning. Everyone knows about the Somali pirates tormenting parts of the Indian Ocean these days and they do come as far south as Madagascar. Luckily George … Read more
April 4, 2011 Fly Fishing in Madagascar – Day 5 Americans and some Europeans are about the only cultures that follow tight schedules. Anywhere else on the planet being on time is of little importance. That’s why when George was approaching the hour late mark I still had confidence he was on the way. Sure … Read more
Speaking to the fly fishers in Boise, Idaho is always a blast. I was there since Friday night as part of weekend fly fishing seminar with friends Phil Rowley and Pete Erickson. We started out Friday night with a visit to the Boise Cabelas store where I painted up a cutthroat while folks watched. Then … Read more
Yes, that’s my old car almost completely buried in snow in mid March. There’s some absolute garbage falling from the sky today here in Victor, Idaho. It’s been warm so the snow is soggy. It rained all night. Then it turned to sleet this morning and now it’s dumping snow. It’s just lovely! But, it’s … Read more
