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.

The heat has arrived this week, flirting with triple digits yesterday and today with persistent mid to high 90’s for the next 10 days. Random thunderstorms are fairly typical this time of year that can pop up out of nowhere but the forecast shows [...]
Summertime Vibes
Three days remain in the month of June. How is that possible? Summer vibes abound. PMD’s and Caddis keeping the DFO’s engaged and happy. Nymphing producing as always. Early launches. Fishing til’ dark. Rental boats emanating the sweet smell of cigar smoke, Miller Lite and fish. Evening debriefing sessions…all fish hooked, landed and lost accounted for. PRIME TIME in Full Swing on the MO.
