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.

The water has finally started to drop (12,200 cfs at the time of this writing) bringing a collective sigh of relief from the army of wade anglers who've been patiently waiting for it to happen. The BWO's came and went and PMD's are waning but you should be [...]
Your Late June Missouri River Report
Summertime on the MO' Can it really be that there are just four days remaining in the month of June? Like it or not, the season is rapidly passing us by and we're still waiting for the water to come down which sooner or later it will. And while sooner and later are relative terms we're confident that two weeks from now we'll be looking at more wade-friendly flows and perhaps the best dry fly fishing of the year. Traffic [...]
