The good guys over at Clear Cure Goo are collecting tying materials to send to the troops stationed at Forward Operating Base Apache – there’s a group of soldiers who are tying to ‘blow off a little steam’ and connect with other lives in other places. Sound like they need everything in terms of materials. […]

Fire smoke is something Westerners hope and pray they never see every fire season. That said, rarely does a summer pass without natural or man-caused fires burning somewhere in the neighborhood. Like most folks who’ve spent time under the Big Sky, we’ve seen summers with nary a wisp of smoke and others that would make […]

Yesterday’s itch to get out and stretch the legs was answered by a call to meet a local fisher out on the Olympic Peninsula. He’s involved with a regional fly shop and had first called and said he was coming off the OP with an ill client and would meet me in Aberdeen. Improving weather […]

From the non-fly fishing world comes an interesting read today. Real world responsibilities require that I spend a bit of my time everyday attending to the black hole that is the world of economics and finance. Forays into the world of economics and finance are most often (in my experience) fraught with conflicting opinions, […]
A very good friend of mine perished in a freak accident on the Bitterroot River Wednesday afternoon. Dick Galli, a vibrant 72, was a very well respected Hamilton shop owner, rod builder, and friend to the community and rivers. Dick was almost always energetic, honest, refreshingly direct, and took great pains to treat everyone who […]
Now and then we get an email, letter, or chat with someone about the sport of fly fishing that really genuinely makes us stop and think about things. One came late last evening from Jake (from somewhere here in Montana, and not our Jake here at ChiWulff)…. Hey guys, I just want to say how […]
One of the features that we’re very excited to add to Chi Wulff is our (more or less) Weekly Wonders feature. This concept has grown legs and is almost running away from us the more we think about and begin to develop it – here’s the nuts and bolts. More or less once a week […]
