Here are a few more pics from the Lake Champlain Gar chasing trip posted above…

It’s funny the little things you take for granted. Finding myself out east this summer, I’m having to content myself with reminiscing my way through the photo archives and writing about adventures in the West, about great rivers and mountains, sunrises and sunsets, bears and moose and wolves. Spent the afternoon yesterday photographing a large […]
This series has missed a few week’s worth of posting, simply due to the fact that any and all time away from the Orvis office has been spent juggling “real life” problems (like having my car bite the dust and subsequently having to find a replacement) and trying to quell the rising storm that seems […]
I spent last week back on the Missouri River in Montana, running the Orvis 2015 fly-fishing photo shoot. It was a week of little sleep, lots of rain, and all matter of interesting—and pretty awesome—personalities. For long-time readers of Chi Wulff, you may remember the series from last season, Dispatches From Craig, that I wrote […]
The adventures continue. With busy—and exciting—things afoot in the creative world, it’s been hard to tear away from the business world and get some thinking time. So, when fellow Orvis Rod & Tackle-ites Chrissy and Tyler called last Friday night and asked if I’d be interested in chasing smallmouth bass the following morning, the answer […]
My saltwater experience had consisted entirely of a few childhood years spent (or misspent) living near South Padre Island and a single wading photography session on the Puget Sound. So when some of the Orvis gang asked if I’d be interested in being part of their team for a fly-fishing tournament on Martha’s Vineyard the […]
Orvis compadre Jackie Jordan tags a Bluefish off the Cape this past weekend. We had a great outing with Capt. Danny and mate Donald from Coop’s Fly Shop. More to come.
Slowly spring green is marching up the hillsides, and I actually opted to not take a jacket to work a few days last week. Harvested my first strawberry this morning from the little plants on my porch. I’m wearing a skirt instead of two layers of long underwear. And, for the first time in what […]
It’s been busy week here in Vermont. Somehow we’ve transitioned from a chilly, rainy and blustery 40 degrees last Sunday to highs in the 70s today. Local anglers are watching the Battenkill River like veritable hawks, waiting for the first sign of the full-on Hendrickson hatch and consistent fish rising. We’re not there yet, but […]
Last week’s Vermont Chronicles post was mysteriously absent, a fact for which I actually do have a somewhat decent excuse. I was freezing my rear end off on the Delaware River throwing streamers at brown trout. Orvis fielded two teams for the Friends of the Upper Delaware River’s annual One Bug tournament. Modeled after the […]
Last weekend marked the second consecutive weekend of fly-fishing adventures and hijinks with the Orvis gang. Comprised of myself, Chrissy, Jackie (the two other fly-fishing girls at Orvis HQ) and Rod & Tackle guys Reed and Tyler, our small gang was headed by Orvis Northeast Regional Business Manager Tom Z. The mission: to teach a […]
By the time this posts I’ll be on the road again, off at the Hell or High Water Fly Fishing Festival on the West Branch of the Delaware River in New York. I even bought New York and Vermont fishing licenses. The world is coming to an end. But never fear, that trip will be […]
No, not that kind of packing. I’m not loading my life into the Suby once more and hitting the road. Life’s a little too interesting for that right now. I’m getting ready to fly out to Montana Monday for the Orvis Guide Rendezvous. It’s a business trip, and a busy business trip, but I’m looking […]
Thursday, the “first day of Spring,” was welcomed with ice, sleet, rain and snow. Ah, seasons in the north country. Makes me feel strangely at home; I remember plenty of June snows back home in Montana. I’ve spent the days at work, and the nights at FGP headquarters, madly working my way through contest and grant entry […]
Another week flown by. The absence of a post last week was entirely my fault, and partially to blame on the fact that days have been pretty routine. The past few weeks have fallen into a pattern of wake up, Fire Girl work, Orvis, yoga, more Fire Girl work, possibly some drinks at a local […]
