Granny and I left the Bruun’s and Fort Pierce, Florida around 9 AM this morning. Its been a fantastic trip through eastern FL the last ten days visiting our friends the Catino’s and Jean and Paul. But all good things must come to an end. Tonight I was the guest speaker at the Backcountry Fly … Read more
Last night Paul Bruun laid out a plot for us to take on the canals up towards Lake Okeechobee. Our target was the various nonnative cichlids that inhabit many of the waters. 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. We watched a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral literally from their backyard. It was a spectacular sight. Then we hit their favorite … Read more
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
It’s been a very relaxing three days in Wolfeboro, NH. It was nice not to have to wake up early and I had no schedule to follow. I worked but at my own pace and enjoyed prepping for next in line, The Edison New Jersey Fly Fishing Show. This weeks show runs Friday January … Read more
Granny and I are back to Moms house in snowy Wolfeboro, NH today through Wednesday and I will use it to get caught up on blogs. Expect me to finish posting about my outstanding Yellow Dog hosted trip to Gabon with my friends at African Waters. I’m sorry to make everyone wait on these but … Read more
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 … Read more
Ed Truter was once a geologist and has meandered through nearly every inch of Africa. He’s always carried his fly rod along and in turn has become one of the most knowledgeable anglers of the dark continent. He knows his fish species and how to catch them on fly and has been a location scout … Read more
When we got back to Sette Cama Camp last night at 1:15 AM after another outstanding fishing session I made a huge decision – I was taking todays morning session off. I’ve only missed one session of fishing in my life and that was in 2016 right here in Gabon. Unless you can take naps, … Read more
When my alarm went off at 4:55 today it reminded me of the dreadful wake ups I deal with at home to make the 5 AM flight out of Duluth in which I wake up at 1:30 AM. Getting up from bed was tough. It was equally tough for all the guys. Be we did … Read more
