Nifty Sunday Read: The Revival and Rejuvenation of Dan Bailey’s

in Fly Shop Sunday

There’s been a very interesting story to watch in Livingston evolving over the past several months (despite the topsy turvy year that was 2020) – the revival and rejuvenation of the legendary Dan Bailey’s fly shop, right there on the main E-W drag through town (Park St), in the same block as the Murray (hotel and bar), and next door to Gil’s.

The Big Sky Journal just dropped a piece online about what’s been happening at DB’s – read it here – it’s a pretty fair representation of what’s been happening of late, but a great recount of the story of Dan Bailey (physicist, teacher/instructor, and fly fishing giant) and his store/retail operation.

We’ve been particularly interested as Jake has working part time with the team there (among his several gigs in Livingston) focusing on tech, marketing, and social media.

Dan Bailey’s is once again a must stop in and look around destination in Livingston.
