chiwulfmegaph409The Chi Wulff team is pleased as punch to announce the arrival of our new weekly newsletter:  Good Chi – A Weekly Journal of Fly Fishing in Yellowstone, Southern Montana, and Around. 

We’re doing this primarily in response to a hoard of requests that we’ve received during the past two years that we were blogging over at Best Fly Fishing Yellowstone.  For the past two years, guys and gals who have ventured to our site have requested that we provide a ‘cheat sheet’ type report covering all the rivers that we update during the week. 

Being folks that would rather fish than write stuff for the most part, we thanked our kind visitors for their interest and promptly filed the requests in the round file. 

Now that we’ve expanded our team a bit and have a bit more horsepower as well as several 8 packs of crayons to craystickscw409share, it’s our pleasure to start the Good Chi Weekly Journal next week. 

Here’s what we plan to include –

For each river we’re updating every week, we’ll provide a short and sweet summary of what’s happening in one sentence or less.  Coverage will include:

Montana and Idaho Rivers

  • Beaverhead
  • Big Hole
  • Bighorn
  • Bitterroot
  • Blackfoot
  • Clark Fork
  • Gallatin
  • Henry’s Fork
  • Madison
  • Rock Creek
  • Yellowstone

Yellowstone NP Rivers (late May to early November)

  • Cascade Corner (Bechler and Fall)
  • Firehole
  • Gardner
  • Gibbon
  • Lamar
  • Slough Creek
  • Soda Butte Creek
  • Yellowstone
  • Smaller waters

Good Chi will also include comments on area still waters, events in the neighborhood, and maybe a comment or two about shops, eateries, and other things you’ll want to know about when you’re up this way.

Good Chi won’t just cover things happening here in the area – we’ll highlight interesting, unusual, noteworthy, or just freakin’ weird stuff from around the fly fishing world. 

goodchifreeGood Chi will be FREE (always a good thing when the economy sucks) and delivered electronically more or less every Thursday to save those beautiful trees.  We’re going to play by the rules and have a real sign up process so that we don’t spam – all we need is a functional email and your first name so that you can confirm your desire to receive this soon to be released work of crayon genius. 

The Chi Wulff team promises upon pain of death and, much more importantly, destruction of all our personal fly fishing gear, that we will NEVER EVER sell, lend, disclose, barter, distribute, publish, ransom or otherwise mistreat, misuse, or malfease ( I know that’s not a word but I needed another ‘m’) your contact information. 

The Chi Wulff team does NOT promise that all the content in Good Chi will be absolutely ‘fresh’ – there will perhaps bereadgoodchi a link or two to things other great minds (or we) have recently written, recorded in video or still photos, cooked, caught, or eaten.  

The Chi Wulff team does NEITHER promise NOR guarantee that you’ll be amazed, impressed, inspired, uplifted, motivated, educated, enlivened, encouraged, animated, moved, energized, dumbfounded, stunned, overwhelmed, or otherwise excited by Good Chi – but we’re damn sure going to try. 

There will be a tab at the top of the site up today titled Good Chi; we’ll have a sign up widget up there and in the first sidebar to the right, and will be posting archives of the newsletter on the Good Chi page. 

Sign up today, we’re coloring like mad for the first issue debuting on Thursday, May 7.
