#722 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/722 Presented By:  Grand Teton Fly Fishing Josh Gallivan, head guide at Grand Teton Fly Fishing, is here to share his expertise on the streams and lakes around the Grand Teton area. He'll talk about how he started at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop, share some great stories, and dive into his techniques for sight fishing snake river cutthroat and fishing stillwater lakes. Plus, he'll tell us about an incredible mothership trip that's not to be missed. About Josh Gallivan Josh's fly fishing journey started in high school when he got a job at the Jack Dennis Outdoor Shop in Jackson. While working there, he met fantastic people like Jeff Currier and Scott Sanchez. He remembers watching the guides come in after their long days on the river, sunburned but happy. That's when he realized he wanted to be a guide, not just work in the shop. After three years, he switched to guiding, and it's become his true passion. Check out our podcast episode with Jack Dennis! Episode Chapters with Josh Gallivan on Fishing Snake River Cutthroat Spring fishing kicks off when temperatures hit around 40–45°F. That might not seem warm, but after a long winter, the fish get active. The best action happens from noon to 4 p.m. when the sun warms things up. The challenge is that boat ramps can still be buried under snow. How Do You Know When the River “Pops”? Look for Blue Winged Olive mayflies starting to hatch. If you see trout rising to sip bugs off the surface, it's game on. If a spot looks fishy but you don't see any heads, move on—it's all about sight fishing. What Fly Should You Use? A size 16 Comparadun with a sparse tie works excellently. Pair it with a 10-foot, 5X leader. The Snake River Cutthroats aren't too picky, but a soft landing fly helps. Snake River Cutthroat While some tributaries don't open until April, the Snake River stays open year-round. Fish move out of the smaller streams and into the river in winter. You can still fish here without a boat and catch Snake River Cutthroat. A 20-inch Snake River Cutthroat is considered big because these fish grow slowly due to the long winters and short summers. In the summer, Jackson Hole gets packed with tourists. It's exciting but can be a bit crazy with traffic. For guides like Josh, it's a chance to teach people about the environment and the fragile river ecosystem. What Makes Snake River Cutthroat Unique? The Snake River cutthroat is one of several native cutthroat species in the West, with others like the Yellowstone and Colorado River cutthroats nearby. What's unique about this fishery is that you won't find native trout in many places. Jackson Hole is a lucky area with thriving native cutthroat populations. For those interested, there's even a Wyoming Cutt-Slam challenge where you can try to catch all four cutthroat species in the state. Hosted Trips 26:28—Josh has traveled the world on fishing trips with his clients. Some places he's been to include Greenland, Cuba, Belize, and Mexico. One of his favorite trips was to Cuba, where the tarpon fishing was incredible. Josh talks about his time on a mothership during his Cuba trip. The boat was huge, with 10 rooms and three stories. It was super comfortable, and the crew took great care of everyone. After fishing, they'd get ice-cold towels, rum punch, and delicious appetizers. The best part? The boat was only 5 minutes away from the fishing grounds. They'd relax on the top deck at night, watching tarpon roll in the sunset.            31:09 – Josh has also been to the remote Anaa Atoll near Tahiti, one of his favorite places. The fishing is incredible, with bonefish, giant trevally, snapper, and sharks. But what truly stands out is the culture. The locals treat visitors like family.   Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/722

We've previously had Len Zickler on the show, and today we're diving into an exciting update on FFI with Patrick Berry. But first, we hear about how Patrick got into fly fishing. 04:00 - Patrick's earliest memories in life were of fish and fishing. Despite not having much growing up, he vividly recalls a camping trip with his family, where his father ingeniously crafted fishing rods out of sticks, strings, and safety pins as hooks while digging worms for bait. 08:20 - Patrick shares his journey into conservation work, which he describes as a common path for many fly fishers. He quotes the words of Lee Wulff, one of the founders of FFI, who famously said, "When you teach a person to fly fish, you have just created a conservationist." 10:14 - After years of trout bumming after college, Patrick got a job in a fly shop with Jeff Currier. He says reading Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac inspired Patrick to pursue environmental science, focusing on freshwater ecology and fisheries. This marked the beginning of his remarkable conservation-focused career. 12:35 - After years in Montana, Patrick and his wife decided to return to Vermont, where he worked for the Vermont Natural Resources Council.

The Casting Instructor Certification at FFI is considered a premier casting instructor program worldwide. 18:00 - Patrick shares his perspective on pressing issues today, such as climate change and more. According to Patrick, climate change movements sometimes fall short of providing information on how an average person can help make a difference. 35:40 - Patrick lets us in on FFI's conservation focus for the upcoming years. Their main goal is to keep providing conservation grants at the local level and collaborate closely with partners to tackle big-picture conservation challenges head-on. 41:17 - We also touch on the significance of technology and the role of famous personalities in driving change. 46:17 - Since our upcoming event is centered around the Great Lakes, I couldn't miss the opportunity to ask Patrick for his insights on the steelhead program in the region. 1:05:27 - Patrick is a music and podcast enthusiast, and he admits to having a dedicated playlist exclusively for The Avett Brothers' songs. Additionally, Patrick is a big fan of the SmartLess Podcast, especially the episode featuring George Clooney. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/478

In this episode I sit down with Jeff Currier.  Jeff has fished in over sixty countries and has landed over 430 species on a fly rod, I think I need to say that again just so it resonates with people, 60 countries and 430 species on a fly rod. Unreal… Jeff was born in Massachusetts and grew up fly fishing throughout New England.  After graduating from High School, his search for new fly fishing adventures led him to Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin.  After four years of hardcore fly fishing for walleye, Northern pike and muskellunge, he graduated with a Naturalist Degree.  After graduation he headed for Wyoming for a summer of trout bumming.  This led to a fly shop management job in Jackson, Wyoming that for the next 23 years would guide him fly fishing around the world.  Jeff's articles, photographs and artwork have graced the pages of magazines, catalogs, brochures and books.  Jeff is the acclaimed 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.  He is a well sought after expert for television and commentary on radio appearing on Fishing the West, Fly Fishing the World, In Search of Fly Water, Reel Adventures, Fly Fish TV, Fly Fish America and Ask About Fly Fishing Internet Radio.  He was also a featured angler in the popular fly fishing movies Connect, Waypoints, Soulfish 2, Carpland  Evolution, Kendjam and Atlanticus. One of Jeff's most recognized accomplishments 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 and placed third in the individual standings, becoming the first American ever to take home a medal in the thirty year history of the Championships.When the Fly Fishing Show season kicks off, Jeff can be found with crowds of people watching, listening and actively participating in his presentations.  Jeff's programs entertain, inform and instruct through his stories and beautiful photography.  Jeff is an active member of the R.L. Winston Rod Co, Simms Fishing Products, Scientific Anglers, Bauer Reels, Yeti, Costa Sunglasses, Kate's Real Foods, Fly Fishers International and Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures as well as a fly fishing lecturer and well known fish artist. I have been fortunate to know Jeff for over 20 years and we have been able to do some amazing trips together, the Amazon, Bhutan to name a few and all around the Rocky Mountain West.  We were featured in the film Carpland together which was another adventure in itself locally.  Jeff's sense of humor and authenticity follows him wherever he goes.  He has a unique ability to be at ease in all situations (even when being smuggled in and out of India).  Today Jeff resides in Hayward, Wisconsin with his wife Yvonne where he bases his globe-trotting career in fly fishing.  Without further adieu please welcome Jeff Currier to the show!Be sure to subscribe to this show on iTunes, Spotify, and your favorite podcast hosting platform.

Rob wanted to find out what happens when a globetrotting fly angler is grounded during a pandemic. Jeff Currier's answer was to go on a road trip- he is the guy that has caught more species of fish on a fly rod than anyone. The first road trip led to Jeff and his wife to move into a mobile home and a tour the country. This is Jeff's turn to tell some stories about van life, art, man eating bugs, and much more. This took several months to plan as Jeff didn't have reliable enough internet while on the road. episode is brought to you by Tan Through Swimwear and is produced by Jason Reif.    Episode Song Learn more about your ad choices.

An old friend of mine, Pete Erickson, joins the podcast today. Pete and I met back when we were both fly fishing guides and even room mates in Jackson Hole. Pete has gone on to do some amazing things in the fly fishing industry. From winning the ESPN Outdoor Games two years after I did, to joining Fly Fishing Team USA, to designing fly rods, Pete has done it all. In this episode we reminisce on some old memories from Jackson Hole. We try to figure out what the magic recipe from that time and place to launch the careers of Pete, myself who both won the Great Outdoor Games, Carter Andrews, Lori Anne Murphy, Matson Rogers, Tom Montgomery, Paul Bruun, Jeff Currier, Jack Dennis, and so many others. We discuss euro nymphing techniques, and more.

Last minute shopping for someone who loves fly fishing and stuck on what to get them? If you like to live dangerously AKA starting your Christmas shopping at 2pm on the 24th, you're not alone. Here are five Christmas gift ideas for the fly fishing enthusiast in your family or friend circle:1. A gift card to your local fly shop - While I am not typically one to purchase gift cards as a Christmas present, there are a few reasons why a gift card to a fly fishing specialty shop is a great Christmas idea. The most relative is that fly fishing nuts know what they want, what they need and what they like. There are few things more fun than a guilt-free shopping spree at a local store, and no better way to support a local small business. 2. A great pair of nippers - While more of a novelty than anything, a good pair of nippers makes for an excellent fly fishing gift. There are a ton of customizable nippers on the market, I've always been a huge fan of the Simms Guide Nipper. The satisfaction that comes from slicing through the tag end of your knot with a fresh set of nippers is one of fly fishing's small, enjoyable details. 3. Tippet - One of the things an angler can never have too much of is fresh leader or tippet material. On the list of things that are better to have and not need, than need and not have, tippet sits right near the top. 4. Custom fly fishing art - There are some truly incredibly fly fishing artists in this day and age. A piece of fly fishing art, regardless the form it comes in, is a thoughtful gift that is almost guaranteed to be something that the fly fisherman you're shopping for doesn't have. Three that I can recommend are Charlie Clark (www.charlieclarkart.ca ), Jeff Currier (www.jeffcurrier.com) ) and my friend Jeremy Koreski (www.jeremykoreskigallery.com)5. A guided trip or fly fishing course - What is the adage about teaching a man to fish? Giving someone the gift of increasing their fly fishing education is undoubtedly one of the best things you can do for someone that is interested in fly fishing, especially if they are just starting. If you're totally stumped on ideas, grab them Fly Fish University's 5-part Fly Fishing Fundamentals Deep Dive program for 20% off with the code "christmas" at checkout. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!Jordan
