The gang here at Chi Wulff is not shy in our support of our armed forces brethren. Personally, I’m honored to note some of my best friends are (or have been) in the special operations community, and my favorite photojournalism assignments are always working in tandem with the military. Lots of respect for that community. […]
People of Fly Fishing
Here’s the second part of Matt’s interview, if you missed it read the introduction and Part 1 here. Obviously the last few water years have been skinny and this year appears to be (from an outsiders view) perhaps the most challenging from a fish and fisheries perspective; how would you sum up the situation in […]
Back on Wednesday we posted a video calling for a voluntary hoot owl closure on the Truckee given low flows (low or basically non-existent snowpack year) and a warm summer so far. The short was put together by Don Zimmerman of Catch, Snap, & Release and several others, including guide Matt “Gilligan” Koles of Gilligan’s […]
Here’s the second part of our interview with North Alabama master tyer Brandon Bailes, read Part One here. You’ve got a week off to do nothing but fly fish. Where would you run to fish if you were staying in your neighborhood? On the coast? Anywhere you wanted to go? If I had one week […]
About ten days ago I strolled into the Orvis store in Birmingham and spied a most interesting box of big, meaty articulated streamers laying on the counter. There was an incredible looking mouse pattern that caught my eye in particular; like any inquisitive fisher I picked it up for closer study and within seconds easily […]
A few weeks ago we posted the video for an interesting Kickstarter campaign from fellow Montanan Robert Knox and his Cortica Mug. Almost to the person our team has a very strong entrepreneurial bent: when we see someone working hard to bring a very interesting product the market, we tend to sit up and take […]
If you missed the first part of the conversation with Dan Rice of Bozeman Reel, you can find it here. You’re obviously trying to create something more than just a reel company with this. It seems that culture and community are pretty important. What are your goals in that area? We want to have fun […]
Recently I had a chance to spend some time talking to Dan Rice of Bozeman Reel. If you haven’t heard of Bozeman Reel, you’re missing out. These reels are made right in Bozeman, Trout Town USA. “Built Montana Tough” is one of their slogans. Playing around with their reels, you can see they live up […]
If you missed the first part of the interview, you can find it here. What has been your favorite place you’ve shot a film in and why? Zack: Well we don’t usually film in too many spots I wouldn’t love to go back to, but I’d have to say somewhere in the backcountry. I can’t […]
Zack and Travis Boughton are two brothers with a talented eye behind a camera. You may know them better as Montana Wild, a name that is garnered a lot of attention in hunting and fly fishing circles. And for good reason. They have been cranking out some really good short fly fishing and hunting […]
Continued from yesterday, here is the second half of artist Christina Deubel’s interview. If you missed the first part, read it here. Any advice for budding artists? Oh gosh, the biggest thing I would tell them is to show up on time, with all of your supplies, ready to do whatever it is that you […]
Fly fishing is one of those pursuits that attracts creative people. The challenge of it all, the majesty of the places it takes us, and the beauty of the fish seem to open up a creative door most people don’t even know they had. And in the midst of all the photos, movies, paintings, blogs, films, […]
Here’s the second part of our recent interview with Flies for Rivers tying wizard Buck Ryan; if you missed Part One read it here. We give you and your team two thumbs up for your donations ($1 for every dozen flies sold); what prompted you to start consistently giving back? Team? I want a team…it’s […]
Over a year absent from these pages, we’re pleased as punch to get our People of Fly Fishing series back in the game today. (We have a whole stack of folks we’ve chatted with about doing interviews with us and have begun to knock on doors again with questions in hand; so more to come.) […]
From the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust over the weekend: It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of George Hommell Jr., one of the founding members of BTT. George will be remembered as one of the pioneers of fly fishing in the Florida Keys as well as one of the early champions of […]
