Hosted Activities: Hosted Activities are weekend events where the Currys reserve the Barn for focused activities such as Fly-fishing for beginners and Golfing. At these events you can rent a single room in the Barn and join a small group of like-minded individuals or couples who want to experience the Barn and a few days learning to fly-fish (Spring & Fall) or just play golf (Summer). The group enjoys breakfast and dinner together at the Barn (except for one ‘night out’). It is a wonderful opportunity to meet people, enjoy Durango, and relax at in the comfort of the 160 year old Curry Barn.
Fly-Fest 101: In 2000 the Currys invited friends to join them for a weekend to learn about fly-fishing. It started with a Fall Fly-Fest where friends who had never fly-fished before came to the Curry Barn to see the incrediable structure and take a float trip down the famous San Juan river (the first blue ribbon Trout river in the US). Little did they know that fly-fishing from a boat on the San Juan could be such a unique and exciting experience for the beginner and the professional a like. After the first fly-fest, everyone wanted to return ASAP. As a result, a Spring Fly-Fest was started in 2002. So the tradition began!
After a couple years, friends began to inquire about using the “Barn” for special fly-fests for their friends and customers, most of which have never fly-fished. We now have four hosted fly-fests, two in the Spring and two in the Fall. The advantage of a Hosted Activity be it fly-fishing, golf, or whatever, is that the Curry’s will be on site to arrange guides, prepare food, and explain activity options. It is a hosted activity where the host advises and particupates in the activites and where everyone has the opportunity to relax and enjoy the Colorado outdoors. Usually the weekend begins when you arrive Friday in time for dinner, golf or fish on Saturday with dinner at the Barn, golf or fish on Sunday. You can leave late Sunday for work on Monday or stay over Sunday night and fly out Monday morning.
