Who needs rest?  Evidently not me.  That’s actually not true but it was either go to Gabon and start the show season with a little jetlag or don’t go to Gabon.  You know me by now.  I sucked it up.   And the last few days did suck.  I arrived in Wisconsin after flying 10,000 […] The post From Africa to the Marlboro Fly Fishing Show appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

Most time on a far-flung fishing trip is for fishing but always devote some time to take in a few other highlights.  Discover the culture, meet the people, take your eyes off the water occasionally and look around.  Always allow yourself the flexibility to jump on an opportunity.  These are things I preach in my […] The post Taking in All that Gabon has to Offer appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

4:55 AM came early.  My circadian rhythm is all out of whack with jetlag, time change and the body is deprived of sleep.  Especially because we fished till 10 PM last night and didn’t get to bed till midnight. Though we weren’t scheduled for fishing here at Sette Cama Camp here in Gabon this morning […] The post Just Warming Up to Fly Fishing in Gabon appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

After a long 7 hour and 30 minute flight from Paris, me and my Yellow Dog Flyfishing hosted group arrived in Libreville, Gabon about 8 PM last night.  It took a while to work our way into the system because we needed to obtain entry VISA’s but it all went smooth for the most part.  […] The post First Fish of 2025 is in Africa appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

I left home two days ago to host seven of my regular Yellow Dog Flyfishing guest/pals on a trip to Gabon with my friends of African Waters.  Gabon is a country on the West Coast of Africa and famous for being one of The Dark Continents most intact wild places.  I fished Gabon in 2016 […] The post Extended Layover Leads to New Years in Paris appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

2024 had everything.  More than I wanted.  While my fishing and travels were some of the best in years, both my mom and Granny had health scares that led to two long summer days in the hospital.  Luckily they recovered 100%.  Furthermore, 2024 will be forever scarred with the loss of my best pal Sammy […] The post 2024 Year in Review appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

Granny said I was full of it when I called December 9 in Florida my last day of fishing for 2024.  She was right.  Yesterday Howie and I took our ladies to Bayfield, WI for lunch at Morty’s Pub then we fished the town dock on Lake Superior for a short time. It was chilly […] The post Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

2024 has been an epic fishing year and it could not have ended any better.  I had the bow of the skiff here in Florida on the Indian River Lagoon for the entire day as Frank Catino guided me.  The icing on the cake however was that long time Jackson Hole pal Paul Bruun, 80 […] The post My Final Fishing Day of 2024 appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

Frank Catino gave me a few options of entertainment today while I’m down here in Florida.  We could go bass fishing on some private lakes.  We could chase snook, but we are definitely doing that tomorrow with Paul Bruun.  Or, we could bag fishing altogether and zip around on Franks airboat.  Well, being a man […] The post First Ride on an Airboat! appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more

This train never stops rolling.  Especially during winter when I have an even mix of fly fishing travel and a speaking tour.  I got home from Brazil on Monday night and then yesterday flew to Melbourne, Florida.  I came to deliver a full day of presentations for the Backcountry Flyfishing Association.  It’s a great group […] The post The 2024/2025 Speaking Tour Kicks off in Florida appeared first on Jeff Currier ..read more
