Fly-tying business started by former Missoula guides one of top three wholesalers in the country

The former U.S. Post Office building is crammed to the ceiling with row upon row of boxes containing a curious assortment of items, such as Frog Hair, Centipede Legs, Tentacles, muskrat hides, moose mane, goose wing feathers, Gator Hair and something dubiously labeled "Rub-A-Dub."

It looks like the ingredients amassed for a monumental witch’s potion.

In reality, the array of feathers, hair, fur, skeins of yarn, and various sparkly, multi-hued synthetic materials stacked in the old Columbia Falls Post Office are ingredients for the 1,000-plus fishing fly patterns sold by the Montana Fly Co. http://www.montanafly.com/

Formed seven years ago by Adam Trina and Duncan Oswald, a pair of former Missoula fly-fishing guides and commercial fly-tiers, the company has grown at an astounding pace to become one of the nation’s top three wholesale dealers of flies and fly-tying materials.
