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.

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.
