Over a weekend in July I was the subject of a flyfishing film and it just went live. BeAlive is a new company which features stories and outdoor adventures. We had a great time with their crew making this film and I love the finished product. Enjoy! Jeff Currier Global Fly Fishing
Renowned South Fork of the Snake fishing guide and great friend, Mike Bean, contacted me a month ago to make him a Cliff Box for one of his longtime customer/friends in celebration of his 80th birthday. It turns out his friend is Page Chapman. I know Page because Mike and Page invited me fishing on … Read more
My blog has given my readers the silent treatment and I apologize for this. I picked up a nasty tropical flu-like illness that put me down the last day of the Costa Rica marlin trip. I recovered enough on the way home to think all was good but first few days home it hit me … Read more
It seemed like a normal morning other than the fact that I was on a 43 foot marlin boat 40 miles off the Costa Rican coast. There were clouds blocking the sunrise and some rocking waves from the Pacific Ocean. The crew filled my Yeti with coffee and I watched daybreak arrive. Kind like on … Read more
5 am came early for me and Sammy. But once our tired brains clicked on exactly what was going on we sprang to life. We were catching a flight from San Jose, Costa Rica to Puerto Jimenez on the Osa Peninsula. Then heading out in the Pacific Ocean to spend three days to try and … Read more
A delayed Delta flight set me back today. I was supposed to leave Los Angeles at 12:40 am this morning. Instead I torturously had to stay awake until 2 because our flight delayed until 2:30 am. That’s three international flight delays this year alone with Delta. The consequence, each time I’ve lost fishing time. An … Read more
I doubt anyone on earth has chased marlin with fly rod unsuccessfully for as long as me. Over the last 25 years I’ve hit prime time in Venezuela, Virginia Beach, Costa Rica, Baja Mexico and even in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador to name a few. But it doesn’t matter how good the marlin fishing … Read more
We camped last night on Blackfoot Reservoir so we could get an early start today fly fishing for carp. Last Friday the carp fishing was so good we could hardly wait. But we awoke to high wind, hovering smoke and patchy clouds. These are horrible conditions for sight-fish fly fishing for carp. Three of … Read more
July 30 – August 1, 2018 July 30, 2018 It hits Granny and I equally hard when August 1st comes around. Summer seems nearly over. Its dark earlier. Coffee mornings on the back porch require a fleece again. It’s scary how fast summer, years and life is going by. That’s why we felt that despite … Read more
It was an absolutely incredible time having my nieces as guest the last three weeks. The stuff we did and the fun we had will be remembered for life. But today I got officially back to my normal fishing bum life. I went fly fishing for mirror carp with the boys. We went to … Read more
July 23, 2018 Granny and I haven’t camped on the Gros Ventre River in a couple years. Last time was with our South African friends Rob and Lucy Scott. We haven’t done our once annual trip there with the family in three years. Guess it’s not an annual anymore. But we’re bringing it back. My … Read more
July 16, 2018 We headed north to the mighty Nunya River around 3 pm. Right when Granny got home from work. My nieces and I had the boat rigged, Yeti’s packed and plans made to hit the road quick. We arrived in the boonies of Texas Ridge Flats just in time to set up camp … Read more
