September 22-23, 2020 It was chilly on the back porch drinking my coffee this past week. With the days shortening by nearly three minutes every 24 hours, it won’t just be the mornings that are crisp by the end of the month. Fall is right on schedule and my friends the mirror carp of Blackfoot … Read more
I do a lot of podcasts and often forget to share them. While they all eventually make it to my “On the Air” page on my website eventually (I have others to add from earlier this summer), I’m on top of this weeks. Enjoy my September 10th visit with Will Collins, founder of the … Read more
September 14-16, 2020 Granny’s busted up shoulder last year tossed a twist in our 2019 summer. There were a few annual trips that weren’t doable. The one that hurt us the most to miss was our two day float down the remote Nunya River. This year not going to the Nunya wasn’t an option. … Read more
Last summer I had a fun guest, Garth Wellman of South Africa. Garth is a good friend and well-rounded angler. One of his goals on his visit was to catch a quality Snake River Cutthroat. I took him a few places and we caught them but no big boys. As a last resort I took … Read more
September 3 & 4, 2020 I doubt you read the article published earlier this summer in themeateater.com by Christopher Bancroft, “Advice from Pro Anglers: How to Out-fish Your Friends”. It’s a good one and I recommend you click on the link and enjoy it. The well written piece highlighted myself, TV Fishing Host Carter … Read more
August 28-29, 2020 I seem to be back on track after the week hiatus from fishing. It had stuff to catch up on and it was super dang hot. But things have changed. Though midday temps are still high, the evening temperatures have dropped and its time to light a campfire (where legal) and … Read more
August 24-26, 2020 August 24 Granny and I ventured up to Hebgen Lake in Montana Monday night to catch some gulper action with one of our “Fly Fishing Show” pals, Alice Owsley, founder of Riverside Anglers. Alice has been kicking around these parts of the Yellowstone Country for many years doing everything from working in … Read more
Been laying low. I haven’t picked up a rod in a week. Its not like I haven’t wanted to hit the water but it’s been insanely hot for the Yellowstone Country with temps topping 90°s for a straight week. I definitely don’t want to mess with my local trout from the rivers in this heat. … 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
August 10-12, 2020 Just in from a wonderful little weekend of camping and fishing with Granny. She slipped out of work an hour early Monday evening and we took off to a high mountain campsite we enjoy a couple times a year. It was crisp night that delivered the first frost we’ve seen since April. … Read more
Self-employment is always a challenge of obedience for me in the summertime. I work. I look out the window and its 80° and sunny. I work. Then I try not to look outside. Then the phone rings. My friend asks, “Currier. Want to go fishing?” That’s how I ended up on Blackfoot Reservoir Friday … Read more
Not every fishing day has to be hardcore. At least I try to tell myself that from time to time. Today I succeeded in less casting and more kicking back. I rowed my lady down the Teton River. It was 87° and windless. Luckily our six pack of Rainier was icy cold in our Yeti … Read more
