I happened on Jeff Currier's website this morning and was captivated by his most recent trip dispatches from France where he chronicled his attempt to catch his 500th fish species with the Wels catfish on the fly. Jim Klug of Yellow Dog Fly Fishing and filmmaker Chris Patterson were also along for the trip in hopes of making a film to submit for next year's Fly Fishing Film Tour.
There are actually nine different blog posts from this trip but I grabbed six of the best to share here...

If you'd like a bit more, Jim Klug sat down with Jeff Currier at the end of their trip to France to record a WAYPOINTS Fly Fishing Podcast that is certainly worth a listen.
Congrats to Jeff on this angling feat of 500 species and getting it done with the Wels catfish. Keep up with Jeff's latest exploits on his blog, and of course, Instagram.
