Fly-fishing Wall Of Fame

On the wall of Dan Bailey's fly shop (above, with Bailey at counter and fly tyers behind him) hang varnished plaques, each bearing an inked tracing of a trout that weighed at least four pounds. More than 100 plaques have been hung since 1941, each representing a trout caught on a fly. The chart below, listing data taken from 25 recent plaques, indicates the quality of fishing in the "magic circle." Most of the fishermen are from the Livingston area.
