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.

These next several weeks comprise the most coveted dates of the season. These are the weeks that book out a year or more in advance. This is GO TIME in the Missouri River Fly Shop, lodging and guiding world. Buckle up! Bugs have been semi-cooperative most days. The wind has been about the most consistent component of [...]
This Weekend on the MO
June is here and with it some sustained summer-like weather and consequently PMD’s have arrived! We’re currently sitting at 80 degrees under sunny skies…more of this on tap for the weekend with breezy conditions (not nearly as breezy as what we started the week with) and a chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm on Sunday. Most local schools finished this week so look for the summer weekend traffic to increase starting this weekend. Nymphing has continued to produce with sow bugs [...]
