2019 ATLANTA FLY FISHING SHOW "LEGENDS OF THE FLY" HALL OF FAME

"LEGENDS OF THE FLY" HALL OF FAME

It was an honor to present the awards again to the inductees at this year's Southern Trout Magazine's "Legends of the Fly" Hall of Fame in Atlanta. We have now inducted 18 individuals whose dedication to the sport of fly fishing, conservation, and service have made a difference to our sports history and preservation. Three of this year's inductees have deep Tennessee roots, and for me it was an honor to accept the award for Eddie George. It will be delivered and presented to his wife Mona George who herself has dedicated years of service to the world of fishing.

Those inducted this year were Don Kirk, Joe Manley Sr., Monte Seehorn, Eddie George, Chuck Kraft, and Eugene Shuler. Congratulations to these individuals and their families.
