We are really looking forward to this section of the Park clearing up. As it stands right now, all the rivers are blown out. The Fall has been pumping a lot of mud into the Henry’s Fork. We will let you know as soon as this area becomes fishable.

We return to a fishing theme today with the continuation of the Twelve Days of Yellowstone – Day 8: On the eighth day of Yellowstone my fishing buddy gave to me – Eight Brookies Biting Seven Swans a-sunning Six Geese a-Swimming Five Golden Rings Four Rising Cutthroat Three bald eagles Two golden stones And a Winston […]
After that depressing Gallatin report, we could all use some good news. As opposed to most area rivers, the Madison has been fishing great! Both the Upper and Lower are seeing lots of good action. Remember that the Upper is now completely open to boat and wade fishing. There is now a lot of water to cover, […]
Twice yesterday I had to go look at the Gallatin. As you can tell from the pictures we put up last night, she is high and very muddy. In fact, she looked out of her banks at the mouth of the canyon. The river below there is only going to be worse. The Gallatin isn’t […]
As some of you have no doubt noticed, most of us here at Chi Wulff are Star Trek fans. I recently found this great tribute video to one of the most oft repeated phrases in Star Trek: He’s Dead, Jim. I couldn’t resist.
We were driving around enjoying the warm weather this afternoon and saw these fox pups soaking up some sun.
The Beaverhead has been fishing well this past week. There was an interesting thing that happened in the past few days. A large load of sediment was dumped into the river at High Bridge from Clark Canyon Creek, leaving a pretty big pile near the mouth of the creek. Friday morning, a local crew […]
Mark and I decided to run down to Hebgen yesterday afternoon after I got off work to give the ice out fishing a try. The jeep was having some alternator trouble, but we wanted to give it a shot anyway. Nothing like a little car trouble to add some excitement to a fishing trip. Hebgen, […]
With runoff just around the corner on many of the area rivers, tailwaters like the Madison are going to see a lot of fishing pressure. Although, with the recent emergence of Mother’s Day Caddis on the Yellowstone and other waters, the Madison has been pleasantly uncrowded recently. Live it up while you can. The big […]

Due to an increasing number of requests to do so, and a little more web knowledge, we have decided to drop registration for commenting on the blog. This is something we have been meaning to do for some time, and we have been prodded along by our readers to do so as well. It has […]
We here at Chi Wulff have been hearing some disturbing rumblings throughout our network of contacts. These rumblings consist of one word: runoff. It seems that several folks we know and trust are saying that runoff on the Gallatin is here, or at least very close. The cooler weather has helped to slow it down […]
In honor of Yellowstone’s fly fishing opener coming up on the 23rd, Chi Wulff continues the Twelve Days of Yellowstone – Day 2: On the second day of Yellowstone my fishing buddy gave to me – Two Golden Stones And a Winston Boron II-MX Rod.
This has been a good week for the Bighorn. Overcast weather has really made midge and Baetis fishing great. Flows are up somewhat, to just over 3,500 cfs as of this morning, making streamer fishing better. Midges seem to be the main hatch coming off right now. Fish are really looking up in the afternoons. […]
Mark and I just got back from another delightful afternoon on the Gallatin. We took his advice and decided to risk fishing on Mother’s Day. After some deliberation about destination, as there usually is, the Gallatin Canyon won out over other choices. Neither one of us had been up there in the past few weeks […]
