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.

You gain an hour of sleep tonight but starting tomorrow darkness comes early...like 5:30 early and the days will continue to get shorter for another seven weeks. I love the extra hour of sleep and it'll be nice to make the drive to work in the daylight again but that afternoon darkness will take some getting used to. Dark days lie ahead [...]
All Hallow’s Eve
Beware the Bull Pasture Clown. Some years past the clown appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, emerging from the thickets on the island below Bull Pasture on the day before Halloween. Witnesses observed the clown wandering the perimeter of the island. The clown made no contact with those in the area and nobody witnessed the clown leave the island. The following morning several of our guests arrived at Bull Pasture before first light, intent on being the first to their favorite [...]
