Former trucker is fly-fishing go-to guy

KALISPELLl, MT -- Jim Braun retired from trucking and dedicated his life to fly fishing. He has learned that running a fly fishing shop produces the same dilemma as truck driving – when the work day is done, there’s no time left for fishing.

The Brauns have enjoyed steady business since opening Montana Mystique, mostly due to internet sales from their website, run by son Tim.

“The shop has been busy and that’s a good thing,” Braun said. “But the bad thing is that I can’t fish anymore.” Visit www.mmflyshop.com.
