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.

There have been some swings in temps ranging from 30’s and 40’s to single digits but we haven’t seen a sustained warming trend in over a month as evidenced by the snow on the ground, most [...]
Back in the Game
Things have taken a quiet turn this first week of November as is usually the case. Snow is falling and as of this morning the majority of our lodging is winterized and closed until spring. We’ve got three units open and available this week but those too will be unavailable starting next week. Today would be an ok day to fish. Tomorrow looks to be better with partial sun returning and a high near 40. Things deteriorate over the weekend with gusty [...]
