January Fly Fishing Shows Whizzing By

blog-Jan-21-2015-jeff-currier-marlboro-flyfishing-show For the first time in years we had near perfect weather for the Marlboro Fly Fishing Show. Indeed it was cold but no snow and therefore no reason for New England fly fishers to stay off the roads. And yes, the show was excellent.

I had a blast catching up with old friends. Many were industry folks but I saw a lot of friends from Boston Fly Casters (A top club where I’ve spoken many times) and even some high school pals. One was one of my best friends from high school, Carl Close, whom I had not seen in 29 years!

All my seminars went well and I’m presently relaxing up in Wolfeboro, NH at my folk’s house hanging with family. Thursday it’s to the biggest show of the year, the Somerset Fly Fishing Show that takes place Friday – Sunday. I hope to see many of you there!

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!
