blog-Sept-16-2013-1-Jeff-Currier-Cliff-Fly-Box-Grayling-artI’ve been a little rowdy with the fly rod for a long, long, long time.  Going back to about April 1 when finished up my speaking tour.  It’s been incredible but now its time to focus.  There’s art to do, an unfinished new website to work on and its time to organize my travel circuit for 2014.  If your organization is looking for a speaker, have a look at my schedule and the enormous list of presentations I offer on my new website.

 

blog-Sept-11--2013-2-Barnes-Holes-Madison-RiverI actually snuck out last Wednesday.  I went to a meeting in West Yellowstone on the banks of the Madison in the Park.  After a quick chat I made two passes through Barnes Hole #2 but picked up only two small fish.  Late summer continues to be unseasonably warm, exactly the opposite weather needed to trigger migratory browns and rainbows from Hebgen Lake.

 

blog-Sept-16-2013-3-Bonefish-art-on-Cliff-Fly-box-Jeff-CurrierAs for art, I had orders for seven Cliff Fly boxes that needed decorating.  That led to complete lock down over the weekend.  I turned on the big screen, watched and listened to September baseball and got all done.  Here’s a couple to check out.  The first one up top is an Arctic Grayling scene and is on its way to Alaska and this one is a tailing bonefish headed for New Zealand for my good pal, Peter Carty.

 

I’m always taking orders.  Get me while I’m hot!  Contact Jeff

    I am liking the new 3D action drawing you are getting into.

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!
