Throughout this year I’ve ended up on several podcasts and in a couple of International Fly Fishing Magazines. I’ve been bad about sharing these. I think my “life in the fastlane” thus far this year kept me from giving these the proper attention. Now that I’m kicking back at home for a month enjoying the summer I’m going to share them with you gradually when I don’t have a fishing blog to post.
Here’s an article that hit the press last week from the top Australian Saltwater Fly Fishing Magazine, In the Salt. It’s called “The Chill Dude” – and Interview with Jeff Currier. It’s a little insight into my life and some of my thoughts for future generations. It starts on page 46. The entire magazine is fantastic with many other great articles as well. Enjoy!
Another way to keep track is to be sure to follow me on:

Jeff,
Enjoy your month at home!

Thanks Tad. You know I will. This body needs it!
Cool story, I wanted to be a trout bum when i grew up, but never quite got there. I too like catching different species, not just the charismatic ones, but at a much smaller geographic scale. Is that an old Martin Reel set up in photo on page 51?
Indeed that is a Martin Reel. Good eye. We sold those in the fly shop along with Abels right when they were invented. I couldn’t afford an Abel even at pro deal so I studied it and the big difference was the cork drag vs my Martins Teflon drag. So with the help of one of my genius fellow employees we bought a sheet of cork and turned all our Martins into cork drag Martins and they were damn near as nice as the Abels! Glad you also enjoy the species quest. Thanks for following the blog!
