A Montana State University librarian in Bozeman is collecting the stories of anglers from across the world and making those stories available for anyone, anywhere in the world to watch for free.
Special Collections Librarian James Thull said he was inspired to launch the MSU Angling Oral History Project after a “cool” story he heard from the legendary fly-fisherman Bud Lilly.
Lilly told Thull that one day when he was working as a guide, Lilly took an elderly man fishing. The man could no longer see well, but he could still fish.
