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.

Ideally we get a few [...]

As previously stated the outdoor recreation industry was a good one to be in during a pandemic and indications are that this will continue to be the case indefinitely, even as the [...]
The Year in Review
As we close out 2020 today I think it’s worth looking back at the past twelve months and taking stock not only of the challenges but also of the good things that happened this year. Without a doubt 2020 has presented us with challenges the likes of which we’ve never seen but in spite and in the midst of those challenges these past 12 months also delivered some unparalleled blessings. It’s easy to get caught up in the WORST YEAR EVER sentiment [...]
