TROUT BUMMING WORLD WIDE
Jeff Currier
– Author, Lecturer,
Artist and Flyfisherman
J eff
Currier
is a walking
encyclopedia of fly fishing for species worldwide. He lives in Victor,
Idaho, and has been fly fishing for more than 35 years. He has worked at the
Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson, Wyoming, for 20 years where he presently
manages all fishing operations. He has taught and guided fly fishers
throughout Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park, and has escorted anglers
to fishing destinations throughout the world.
When Jeff is home he finds plenty to keep him busy. In addition to Fly
Fishing, he enjoys writing and painting. His original fish watercolors are
in high demand. Jeff’s articles, photographs, and artwork have graced the
pages of magazines, catalogs, brochures and books. Some of these books (i.e.
Quick and
Easy Guide to Saltwater
Fly Fishing
and
Currier’s Quick and Easy Guide to Warmwater Fly Fishing)
have become
the standard introduction to saltwater and warmwater fly fishing. Jeff has
made many television appearances including FISHING THE WEST, FLY FISHING THE
WORLD, IN SEARCH OF FLY WATER, REEL ADVENTURES, FLY FISH TV, and FLY FISH
AMERICA.
During the winter months, Jeff can be found lecturing
throughout the United States and Canada on nearly every aspect of fly
fishing. He also demonstrates the art of fly casting and conducts seminars
on the basic and advanced skills of fly fishing.
Although Jeff spends much of his time fishing for trout,
he has currently caught more than 175 different kinds of fish with a fly
rod, from both fresh and saltwater, in almost forty countries. He is
constantly developing techniques for catching the most exotic fish
imaginable, in places where even the most avid adventurer refuses to go.
Jeff’s most renowned accomplishment was leading TEAM USA to its first ever
top-ten finish in the World Fly fishing Championships in Jaca, Spain. During
the competition, Jeff managed to fool fish on every venue and placed third
in the individual standings, becoming the first North American ever to take
home a medal in the twenty-six year history of this event.
