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.

Chilly in the mornings and cooling down as soon as that sun dips down in [...]

The morning and evening chill has arrived and with cooler daytime temps settling in it’s probably about time to put away those [...]
9/11 Reflections on the Wreckage
The Wreckage Remains It’s been 20 years. As is the case for so many, it’s still seared in my brain. Others seem to have forgotten or at least left it behind. Being that it’s been 20 years, many young adults today hadn’t even been born yet in 2001 or were too young at the time to have had it scorched into their psyches. What is the legacy of September 11th? Volumes have been written and will continue to be written [...]
