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.

Not to worry, there’s plenty of cool (followed by COLD and likely even frigid) weather in store for the not too distant future. Last weekend's unofficial end of the summer season was a great mix of warm sunny summer days on the water combined [...]
Bidding a Fond Farewell to Summer 21
Fall on the Mighty Missouri Summer is soon to be but a memory as we close out August and welcome September and the arrival of autumn fishing on the MO. Looking back, it was really a great spring and summer. Sure the high temps and low flows were not ideal and having Hoot Owl Restrictions placed on the Missouri was something we’d not seen since we’ve been in business and it definitely took a toll but aside from this the [...]
