After what seemed like an inordinately long week, I had to get out of town yesterday. The original plan was to drive down to Between the Lakes on the Madison, but as soon as I got there and saw the hordes of people on the water I changed my mind. Shoulder to shoulder fishing is […]

Happy Easter everyone. I hope today you are enjoying spending time with your loved ones. If you are like me and don’t have any family or whatnot in your area, I hope you are fishing. After a protracted absence (look for the full story later this week) I am finally back up and running here […]
Today’s Thirsty Thursday has nothing to do with alcohol. In the next hour or so, I’ll be hitting the road with Jess from Fire Girl Photography (just to avoid any confusion here, she’s my sister, not my wife, girlfriend, etc etc.) and we’ll be headed north to Bozeman by God Montana. Alcohol and road trips […]
Ever dream of just getting away from it all, moving to a tiny fishing-focused town, and working in a great fly shop? Well now’s your chance. Headhunter’s Fly Shop is looking for some shop help. No guiding, but helping customers and holding down the fort in the store. Read all the details here. The staff […]
Yesterday was an important holiday. No, I’m not talking about anybody’s birthday or President’s Day or anything like that. Something much more fun. National Margarita Day. So today for Thirsty Thursday, we put aside the craft beer and pull out the tequila and salt. Last night, we all went down to a local restaurant, The […]
Have you ever seen the classic movie Jeremiah Johnson? Near the end of the movie, Jeremiah comes across his old friend Del Gue. As they part ways, Del says something that has always resonated with me: “The Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world”. It’s one of those quotes that if you get it, […]
Beer has long been a favorite ingredient of myself and many other cooks. It goes great in stews, soups, marinades, batters, the list goes on and on. But what about desserts? Behold the Chocolate-Stout Brownies. Ever since I first heard of this recipe I’ve wanted to try it. Not only am I a big fan […]
Montana has been on my mind lately. Honestly, it has never really left my mind. Talking to friends back home just makes it worse. What I wouldn’t give for just a couple breaths of crisp, clean mountain air and being able to look up and see the mountains. I’ll be back there sooner or later. […]
New Belgium Brewing has long been on my favorites list. Their brews are right up my alley, and you have to like all their seasonal choices throughout the year. For some time now, I have been meaning to try their Mothership Wit. Yesterday I finally did. It was worth the wait. Mothership Wit is 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 […]
Microbreweries seem to be popping up everywhere these days. For beer fans, this is a damn good thing. While it usually costs more and odds are you can’t find it outside of a couple counties over, craft beer is some of the best beer you’ll ever have. Starting a new business is always a risky […]
Texas is known for many things. BBQ, good country music, hot weather, and apparently the best trout fishing on God’s green earth. Ha. But there is something else that should make that list. Beer. I’m not talking about Lone Star Beer, which is what most people think of. I’m talking about Shiner. The brewery, located […]
On January 3, the National Park Service presented a draft report regarding progress against threats to Yellowstone National Park to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. YNP was placed on a List of World Heritage in Danger in 1995, but was removed in 2003. This is the sixth report on the condition of threats to the […]
Now that New Years is behind us I always tend to start thinking ahead toward spring and summer. The days start getting longer, the holidays are over, and in better places than here in Austin the novelty of having snow on the ground is just beginning to wear off. But there is always that realization […]
