Running Line
Running Line is a chronicle of our journey, both personally and as a company, into the world of Montana fly fishing. Part fishing report, part sales and promotions, and part personal soap box, Running Line is a showcase of words and images used to keep our readers informed and entertained.
I am blessed to be able to live in this amazing place and to do what I love for a living, and there’s nothing I like better than sharing my world with those who share my passion for fly fishing and for the rugged beauty of Montana.
Running Line is a blog about life on the Missouri River and beyond. We want to keep you up to date on what’s happening on the river, but we also want to share with you the ups and downs of running a fly-fishing start-up business in this highly competitive market.
I hope you enjoy reading and continue coming back for more.

We’re currently seeing highs in the 30’s, lows in the 20’s with occasional snow showers (as it should be) and the snowpack map is slowly but steadily starting to improve. Let’s hope winter sticks around for a while. We could certainly stand another six weeks of this. We did our first guide trips of 2024 [...]
Welcome February
January is now in the rearview and ended up being a wild ride weather-wise with everything from snow and 40 below to sunshine and 60 degrees all within the span of a couple of weeks. That’s a swing of 100 degrees or more! The current spring-like conditions have ushered in a substantial increase in angling traffic with the winter regulars being joined by folks coming in from all around the state to enjoy this winter thaw. We’ve enjoyed the bump in lodging [...]
