I’ve been chewing my nails for a week. I’ve been scheduled to return to the Nubian Flats of Sudan since last October. I applied for the difficult to get Travel VISA in November and when I woke up this morning I still didn’t have it. I leave for Dubai tomorrow and plan to continue on for … Read more
To say I had a fun day of entertaining the fly fishers of Virginia on Saturday for the Mossy Creek Fly Fishing 12th Anniversary Party is an understatement.

My annual roosterfish trip to Baja isn’t so annual lately. Last year I missed the body-bashing trip for the first time in years because I took on a mahseer project in Bhutan.

Someone commented at the Pleasanton Fly Fishing Show last week, “Man Currier, you’ve been on the road since early January”. Then he laughed and said, “No that’s not true, you’ve been on the road since you quit the fly shop in 2009!” The dude was correct. In October 2009 I walked out the door … Read more

The old red Explorer was limping badly when we started this West Coast speaking tour (Victor – Seattle – Portland – Tracy, CA – Pleasanton, CA – Fresno, CA – Victor). Every mile we put behind us is a relief. It’s the transmission that’s going. On the highway the engine screams at 4000 RPM’s and … Read more
A fun filled weekend at the Lynnwood, Washington Fly Fishing Show. Not only was it a great show but I did my sharpie art on a new canvas – Dave Blackburn’s banjo!
