If there’s a time when a Yellow Dog Flyfishing host can relax when leading a trip, it’s when all the guests are at the location. That’s where I find myself tonight. All nine of my guests are settled in their cabins, rods are set up, guides are assigned for tomorrow and we just finished a … Read more
I had lovely little jaunt over to the other side of the world over the weekend. Though I had two agonizingly long layovers, one when I arrived in Amsterdam and the second in Dubai, my travels went smooth and yesterday I arrived in Mahe, Seychelles. Its presently 5 PM on Tuesday afternoon. At home in … Read more
It was a bit brisk this morning in northern Wisconsin. 7° to be exact. But that’s ok because I’m out a here. I’m headed to the Seychelles to fish a week at Farquhar followed by a second week at Providence Atoll. I’ve led a few extended trips to the Seychelles over the years that earned … Read more
How time flies these days. Its hard to believe that events, trips, tours, gigs and everything that you plan months if not years ahead come and go so fast. It seems like only a short time ago I was burdened with the stress of being properly organized for the 2025 Fly Fishing Show tour. I … Read more

But the weather had other ideas. Okeechobee is in the wide open plains of Florida and today we had strong wind. We changed … Read more
I hoped to wet a line at least once more while down here in FL and today my wish came true. Not only that, I went with my longtime friend, Paul Bruun. Paul was a mentor of mine when I arrived in Jackson Hole, WY back in 1987, he wrote the foreword to my first … Read more
Granny and I are in van-life groove enjoying our break from the Fly Fishing Show tour. We rolled into Satellite Beach, FL Tuesday afternoon and stayed with our friends Frank and Linda Catino.

I wasn’t planning to go dark on the blog since my New Jersey Fly Fishing Show update on January 27th. I figured I’d share travel stories then post my schedule for The Atlanta Fly Fishing Show. Instead, I blew off blogging the entire week and didn’t even post my Atlanta speaking schedule. I guess that … Read more
I’m happy to say The Edison NJ Fly Fishing Show was a good one. My presentations went great and there was lots of interest in the “Currier” art from my fish mugs to the fish shirts and I made time to decorate some packs and fly boxes for folks. The show was a lot of … Read more
