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.

Daylight will begin to stretch which means we are on our way to summer and it won’t be long before sunlight again creeps across our parking lot and eventually returns to illuminate the shop in a warm, spring glow. Of course the [...]
Mid December on the MO
Frosted Darkness in Wolf Creek These are the days of mandatory day dreaming. If it’s a skill you lack as a fly shop owner/operator you will likely struggle from about mid-November to mid-March. If it’s a skill you lack, winter will chew you up and spit you out of Wolf Creek. Off in the distance, beyond the shadows of the canyon, the hillside is bathed in sunlight in stark contrast to the frosted darkness enveloping Wolf Creek Angler for the [...]
