Local’s Prerogative

An absolutely unexpected business essential popped up last week requiring a quick trip to the Pacific Northwest; it became evident pretty damned quickly that putting flights together to make it work, coupled with some of the rather insane restrictions imposed by a few key states and localities, was nigh on impossible. What followed was a […]

Kudos to the good folks at the Missoulian for publishing this nifty piece – This is Montana: Big Hole Country. If you haven’t wandered around this region, floated, and fished – it needs to be on your bucket list.

Looking forward to some better days (and more mobile days) in June, here’s a nifty throwback to a nice piece YETI did on some intrepid anglers’ Henry’s Fork Marathon organized by Jeff Currier.

Best Thanksgiving wishes to all of our Chi Wulff compadres today; may you eat well, enjoying (at least some) creative food, sit next to your favorite relative at the dinner table, and sneak away to spend time walking alongside, or in, one of your beloved rivers, cricks, creeks, bayous, or flats today.

There’s been a very interesting project running back home in Montana for several months – the Montana Outdoor Heritage Project – taking a look at some of the things that make Montana special, like water, wildlife, and working farms (their list) for example. They’ve got a survey running, you’ll see it right at the top […]

Jess (Jess McGlothlin Media) grabbed some nifty images over the weekend around Kelly Island (Missoula area) while out sharpening her drone skills for her big upcoming Australia and Tasmania trip in a few weeks. Fall in the Northern Rockies is a very special time…

Get out there and enjoy the day today; fall mornings in the Northern Rockies can be something special, and fall is indeed knocking on the door in much of the country. Image via Jess (Jess McGlothlin Media) during a recent early morning drone flight over Missoula…

Headhunter Fly Line from Headhunters Fly Shop on Vimeo. Mark Raisler from Headhunters Fly Shop talks about the new “Headhunter” Fly Line developed for technical dry fly fishing. The “Double Delta” taper encourages power, control at distance, tight loops and accuracy. But the line also presents flies with the delicacy needed for technical, spring-creek conditions. […]

[As a quick intro, my photojournalist daughter – Jess of Jess McGlothlin Media – this past weekend celebrated her 10th year hustling as an entrepreneur in what has become a very crowded photojournalism niche; I asked her to share a little about the journey here. She’s contributed on Chi Wulff intermittently over the years, and […]
