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.

In spite of that fact, were it not for the long hours of darkness you might not know we were on winter’s doorstep as the weather hasn’t exactly been what you’d expect for the first week of December. It’s 60 degrees and sunny as I write which is a carbon copy of yesterday. Breezy [...]
Quiet Time on the MO
Quiet on the MO' photo by Wolf Creek Angler In spite of unseasonably nice weather this week the river is absent of anglers and Wolf Creek and Craig are essentially void of any signs of life as we enter the Post-Thanksgiving period which is consistently our slowest time of the year….hands down. Sure, you’ll see a boat or two on occasion and we get the random drop by for flies or a shuttle but for all intents and purposes there’s [...]
