Damn!

[The upfront fair warning: this is one of those minimally fishy, musing about life posts that sneak onto Chi Wulff now and again. If you’re looking for the fly fishing clown blowing literary fly fishing bubbles out his (or her) wazoo, look elsewhere today.] A few days ago found me in my aging F150 roasting […]

Tricos again touch down on the Bitterroot river. Another nifty edit from Joe Cummings.

Earlier this week we saw something terribly sad in the shop.  Heart breaking almost.  Someone brought in two Scott Radian fly rods, a 9′ 6″ 6 wt and a 9′ 4 wt, with two Hatch reels that had been left on the top of his car and fallen off on the interstate.  Ouch. The story […]

Skate or Die from Cortney Boice on Vimeo. Catching cutthroat on a mouse is the equivalent of catching a wild unicorn while it is jumping over a rainbow.

You’ve probably seen this already… Australian professional surfer Mick Fanning survived a shark attack yesterday without an apparent scratch, several minutes into the final heat, while broadcast on live television. Some accounts have reported two different sharks were involved. The other finalist competitor Julian Wilson paddled on his board to aid Fanning – a genuine […]

A cell phone snap from Jess (Fire Girl Photography) upon her early morning arrival in Pape’ete, Tahiti, French Polynesia on assignment with Costa and IndyFly. They were enjoying their last bit of hotel and civilization before transporting out to a remote atoll for a week of fisheries work. Beats the hell out of my view […]

Just saw this on Instagram (thanks @hairynymphy and @billybearce) and thought we should share here on Chi Wulff tonight. Will be easier for Durango area anglers to chip in, but surely any and all assistance will be welcomed. This gentleman (Kevin) lost all he owned in a fire and needs to get back on and […]

In the process of corralling interviews with the folks behind 406 Fly Lines (coming Sunday) and Big Sky Rod Box (coming soon) we came across the Ultimate Montana Fly Fishing Giveaway. (Can’t believe we’d missed this thus far.) REGISTER HERE. Some of Montana’s finest fly fishers have teamed up to pool over $5,000 worth of […]

Damn. Ivan Doig, one of Montana’s most gifted and favored sons, passed away early today at his Seattle home after an eight year battle with multiple myeloma. He was 75, born in White Sulphur Springs in 1939, earning his stripes in post-depression Montana and spending some of those hard-scrabble years literally under the Big Sky working […]

A couple of years ago, heeding the words of a mentor suggesting we all have a book or two in us if we’ll just be quiet and listen to the chatter in our heads long enough, the mythological thunderbolt of a book idea hit me one day in the shower. It took a bit longer […]
