I tend to agree with Mark at Headhunters that, from the sometimes skewed perspective of a predominantly blue-line fly fisherman, February is probably my least anticipated and enjoyed month of the year. Back in home country the novelty of winter’s cold and snow has passed (this year’s bizarre weather excepted), the days are still achingly [...]

Chatting via email this morning with new Chi Wulff friend Dr. Aaron Adams of the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust about various stuff, including politics in Florida these days and he served up the quote of the day… I wonder how much research/conservation we could’ve done with the ~$30 million they spent here on ads in [...]

During a 70 minute phone call this past weekend with Ed, a somewhat interesting exchange proceeded more or less as follows (in the midst of discussing a number of absolutely unrelated topics). Pertinent context includes the fact that now and again Ed (background on Ed here) enjoys poking a bit of fun at us when [...]

Been thinking a lot about high summer lately. One of those summer treasures I tend to miss this time of year is the lure of the open road. I’m not talking about crowded interstates with bumper to bumper traffic or highways choked with gut-wrenching chain eateries and truck stops lit so brightly you can see [...]

Guide Jim, our somewhat mysterious, former Austin-resident, sometimes Texas-disdaining, fly fishing guide / professor and new cyber friend emailed this link in just now with a thought…. Given your obvious interest in the introduction of non-native fish into desert locales I’m surprised you haven’t run the trailers (released a few weeks ago) for Salmon Fishing [...]

Pasta might just be one of the all time most seductive comfort foods. Even the way most Americans enjoy pasta – as a pot of spaghetti buried under jarred marinara sauce – it’s hot, hearty and tasty. And I’m not poking fun at jarred sauces here either. There are some very passably good ones out [...]

The current issue (Number 4) of Pool 32 has just rolled off the cyber press and there’s a thought provoking piece written by Bob Margulis, one of the trustees of the Wild Steelhead Coalition; the article is entitled Yes We Can – What You Can Do to Save Wild Steelhead. Margulis reviews some of the [...]

I’m sure this has already been done somewhere. Surely I am not the first. But, curiosity can be a powerful thing. So can boredom. Combine the two, throw in a can of stout and some ice cream and what do you get? A beer float. Think about it for a second. Sounds pretty good, right? [...]

In the past here on Chi Wulff, we have been pretty harsh about the fishing environment here in Texas. Most of that has centered around the “trout waters” of the Guadalupe River and the people who fish it. But there is more here than just that aquarium-like destination. Now that some of the creeks are [...]
