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.

Mornings will feel like fall with temps in the 50’s and it doesn’t take long for things to cool off when [...]

Farewell to Summer

Cray Days on the MO It hardly seems possible but Labor Day weekend is upon us, the unofficial end to the summer season on the MO. It looks to be an idyllic late summer weekend with daily highs near 90 each day and overnight lows dipping into the low 50’s. Let the autumn season commence! We’re enjoying a taste of fall today with morning temps in the low 40’s and highs topping out around 60 this afternoon. Gusty winds will [...]
