Jeff Currier is a fly fishing maniac! He resides in Victor, Idaho where he bases his career in fly fishing. For 19 years he has worked at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson, WY where he presently manages all fishing operations. He has taught the skills of fly fishing, guided fly fishers throughout Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park, and escorted anglers to fishing destinations throughout the world. When home, Jeff can be found either writing, or more frequently, painting fish. Jeff's original watercolors are always in high demand.

Jeff has made several television appearances including Fishing the West, Fly Fishing the World, In Search of Fly Water, Reel Adventures and Fly Fish TV. His articles, photographs and artwork have graced the pages of magazines, catalogs, brochures and books. Jeff is the author of Currier's Quick and Easy Guide to Saltwater Fly Fishing and Currier's Quick and Easy Guide to Warmwater Fly Fishing guide books.

During the winter months, Jeff can be found lecturing throughout the United States on nearly every aspect of fly fishing. He demonstrates fly casting, teaches seminars on the basics to the advanced skills of fly fishing, as well as many fly fishing destination programs ranging from his home waters in the Rockies to the most remote corners of the globe.

Although Jeff spends much of his time fly fishing for trout, he chases many other fish types as well. He is a walking encyclopedia for fly fishing for species worldwide. He has currently taken over 160 kinds of fish with a fly rod from both fresh and saltwater in over thirty countries. He is constantly developing techniques for catching the most exotic fish imaginable in places where even the most avid adventurer refuses to go. His most recent travels have found him chasing tigerfish in Africa, payara in Venezuela and mahseer in India.

Jeff's most recent accomplishment was leading Team USA to its first ever top-ten finish in the World Flyfishing Championships in Jaca, Spain. During the competition Jeff managed to fool fish on every venue met and place third in the individual standings, becoming the first North American ever to take home a medal in the twenty-four year history of the event.

Jeff brings a sense of humor, enthusiasm, and over thirty years of fly fishing to wherever he goes.
