First eight photos by Ethan Beazley Today was a giant day of fly fishing for me. I expanded my resume of water fished down here in Phoenix, Arizona, I made some new fishing buddies and I added a new species to my list. This memorable day started with Steve Berry and I meeting up with … Read more
I’m in flight now headed back home from my quick jaunt down to Atlanta to speak to the fly fishing club. It was a great trip. My show went awesome and I got to catch shoal bass yesterday and chase carp this morning. Friend and this week’s host, Austin Kane, got us on the water … Read more
When my blog starts with a photo of a busted up shopping cart laying in an off-color Phoenix, Arizona canal you wouldn’t expect me to write about a successful fishing day. However not only was our fishing great, but I drove away from La Mesa RV with a brand new van! Fishing on the … Read more
August 11 & 12, 2021 August 11 I’ve never taken my boat to the carp flats of Blackfoot. Not in all the years of fishing here. But I haven’t run my little 3.3 Mercury in over a year and felt the need. And the weather looked amazing with blues skies and light winds. Yesterday morning … Read more
August 5 A trip to the carp flats has been long overdue for me and my sidekick Tim Brune. In years past we fish mirror carp at least a day a week through July and August. But this year it’s been big projects and tons of company that prefer trout over carp. Yesterday Brune and … Read more
Tom Bie left for home after fishing last night. Boots and I had a beer at camp then called it a day. It as a long one and good one with a few nice fish. This morning we got up early again and the two of us fished one of the slower sections of the … Read more
Yesterday, Boots Allen, Tom Bie and I were worn out from the demands of summer and we took our fishing easy. Because of our lackluster approach, we only caught one fish. There would be no dillydallying today. While the guys each slept in their trucks last night, I found a comfy spot on the … Read more
Boots Allen picked me up at my house at 9:15 AM. We loaded three days worth of gear and drove to Swan Valley where we met another friend Tom Bie. Boots has been on the blog many times. He’s a 3rd generation fishing guide here in the Tetons. This is a first time on the … Read more
June 1-3, 2021 We went from putrid cold rain and wet snowy weather for ten days to summer in a matter of 24 hours. The Idaho forecast for Wednesday was for little wind and 81°. That’s unheard of for early June here so Granny and I packed the Explorer Tuesday afternoon and headed camping on … Read more
It was our last day down here in Arizona and Mike Faulkinbury invited Steve Berry and I to hit some urban lakes near where he lives. While the numbers of fish caught this week have been low, the size of them has been incredible. Earlier this week was the massive common carp and yesterday’s grassie … Read more
I haven’t mentioned it but this week I’m fishing the new Winston Air 2 5-weight rod with the new RVR Bauer Reel. Perhaps I forgot because my fishing has been tough. But let me just begin today’s blog by saying, I’m extremely pleased with both additions to the “Currier” arsenal! Steve Berry and I … Read more
August 14-16, 2020 Being home now, or at least locked down in the USA for nearly five months, has put me in a position where I’ve fished most of my favorite haunts at least several times this year already. They’re great places but I like to change up my venues and chase different fish species … Read more
