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 are all kinds of additional things we’d love to do and we will continuously make improvements as our budget allows. Not all improvements are noticed, in fact the majority aren’t but they’re all things you definitely would notice if we didn’t do them. For instance, this spring we replaced the last [...]
Low Water, Spring Snows and BWO’s
With April’s end in sight we’re still waiting for spring to settle in, at least where the weather is concerned. The last couple of weeks have served up a fairly steady diet of spring snow showers coupled with that dreaded north wind making for somewhat less than ideal conditions if sunny and warm spring days are your thing but for those more concerned with the fishing than the forecast April has not disappointed. As you would expect, nymphing has been the go [...]
