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.

I can’t even recall an 80 degree day so far in June. We may [...]

We’ve avoided some of the soaking rains and thankfully most days have at least started with sunshine but the cumulative effect has been a substantial increase in reservoir volume which has resulted in the biggest [...]
The Calm Before the Storm (Welcome June)
Wolf Creek Angler is your Missouri River Fly Fishing Headquarters It’s relatively quiet this first day of June on the Missouri but that’s about to change! Chalk it up to being a post-holiday week or just the calm before the summer storm but it’s been eerily quiet this week with many of the transient guides and outfitters taking their clients and returning to their home waters. Wet weather has perhaps kept some of the local angling traffic away and we’re [...]
