Ten Questions with Tacky Fly Fishing on Chi Wulff

The Tacky Box hard at work this past fall.

I first ran into the some of the guys behind Tacky Fly Fishing at the Orvis Guide Rendezvous in Missoula last April. A bouncy bunch of guides from Altamont, Utah, they stuck in my mind for the simple fact that I lived in Utah for a while as a kid and have great memories of the region’s mountains and rivers. (Somehow some of the most powerful mountains in life are those of your childhood.) We laughed and chatted and exchanged fishing tips—they were hoping to hit some Montana waters on their drive back home.

The Tacky Fly Box first really came onto my radar when I was writing product copy for Orvis and realized we’d added it to the assortment. A bit of research and a few emails confirmed it was, indeed, the Kickstarter project the Utah guys had begun. And it was going great guns.

Ran into the Tacky crew again at IFTD in Orlando in July (where they subsequently kicked much ass and took home an award), and they were kind enough to give me a box to test. I’ve been fishing out of it since, and am viewing the slitted silicone base as something near revolutionary.

The guys agreed to a ten questions interview for Chi Wulff, and the first part ran today. Look for part two tomorrow.
