Local’s Prerogative

The Missoulian recently ran a nifty piece on Thomas Elpel’s adventure tracing Lewis and Clark’s route from Montana to St. Louis in his newly crafted dugout canoe. Read it here.

Almost three years ago to the day I wrote A Call to Fathers and shared the pic above; that’s our two kids a few years back, “painting” our first drift boat with water-filled buckets just outside my backyard shop (I was babysitting that afternoon…). For many of your neighbors, the disconnect between their sterilized, tech-dominated […]

Nice feature profile from TRCP – read it here.

Yellowstone began opening roads a couple of days ago, including one of my favorite drives on the planet – the drive in from West Yellowstone to Madison Junction and on along the Firehole to Old Faithful. This is a great time of year to see all sorts of critters down in the meadows looking for […]

Guide Danial Parson of the Solitary Angler Guide Service (great guide team I hear) in Wyoming has written a nice piece posting on the Orvis FF blog here, though I’m sure our ChiWulff compadres could add a few to the list…

May your 2019 bring you some time under blue tropical skies with a smooth ocean (or bay in this case, one morning just out of Rockport, Texas) before you. Cheers.

The day after any major holiday is a great day (actually, any day is a great day) to get outside and kick around your neighborhood water, whether that be a crick, creek, river, bay, bayou, sea, or ocean. Some of the most uncrowded days for me in the past few years have been cold winter […]

Merry Christmas to all from Team ChiWulff. Have a great day today, eat well, fellowship merrily, and get outside (that’s early winter frost along the Firehole above). Cheers.

Though at first glance it almost seems counterintuitive, as a fly fisher I love the Winter Solstice. Even though it’s the shortest day of the year for most of us in the northern hemisphere (or damned close to it), and marks the onset of the astrological winter season, today marks a pivotal turn toward spring […]

Our own Jess (Jess Mcglothlin Media) was featured in a video shot this past summer in far north Swedish Lapland.

Montana’s FWP is asking for input on their Upper Missouri River Reservoir Fisheries Management Plan – throw your two cents in here.

Shake off the consumerism shackles and Opt Outside today. (No offense to our bevy of friends and family in outdoor retail…)

Somehow I missed posting this when Jess (Jess McGlothlin Media) spent some very fruitful time with the outfitting team (husband and wife) Cameron and Lonny Mayo and their crew just north of Yellowstone in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The story ran in print in Fly Fisherman, and is posted online here. You’ll want to saddle up […]

The good folks at Zatarain’s have sent us another box of goodies to give away, and just in time for Thanksgiving, this round we’re featuring a couple of their Cajun Injector injectable marinades – the Creole Butter and Creole Garlic versions. Injectable marinades have been around for a while now, and count us among those […]
