The Final Vermont Chronicles Today on Chi Wulff

I put off writing today’s post on Chi Wulff as long as I could. I really didn’t know where to start.

I finish at Orvis this week, then load my life up into a trailer and drive back to Montana. The goal is to be back in Bozeman by the weekend, hopefully unloading quickly and then heading for the river with a box of streamers and the camera.

Very mixed feelings leaving the Northeast. Unexpectedly, I’ve grown to like it here. I’ve got a small group of friends, some new kinds of fishing, and it’s so different from my Western “normal” that it’s a bit like living in a foreign country. You know how sometimes you leave a place, smiling and saying, “See you somewhere along the road” but deep inside you think you’ll really never see that person again? Leaving Orvis and Vermont isn’t like that. The fly-fishing industry is a small one, and I look forward to running into former coworkers at trade shows, photo shoots, and random places along the way. That’s kind of the beauty of it.

So let’s not say goodbye, but rather, “See you on the flip side.”

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported my work during these two years on the East Coast. I’ve learned a lot, listened a lot, and explored a lot. Met some incredible people, and had opportunities I’d never dreamed of. Here’s to the next adventure(s)… I have a feeling they are going to be doozies.

And look for the next Sunday series on Chi Wulff. Planning to come up with a name during the 2,300 miles between Manchester and Bozeman.
