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.

It’s been one of the hotter summers in recent memory with the number of days above 90 degrees far outpacing the average. We’ll see 90 today but cooler temps and maybe even some rain are on the way for the remainder of this week. We’ll see highs in the [...]
Ten Years After
It was ten years ago this week we left our Michigan home in the rearview and headed west. With no jobs, no prospects and no real plan we chased a dream to Helena MT in search of the next chapter. What materialized over these last ten years I could never have imagined…I could never have dreamed this Big. Montana felt right from day one which was a good thing as the first job I found was working in the warehouse at George’s [...]
