Because it happened in Livingston where movie stars call home and those that follow them weren't born and raised in Montana. That Dan Bailey guy's folks probably thought Dan Bailey was some kind of movie star instead of a man made famous locally for his fishing skills and the trout flies he tied. And sold.
He also gave classes on fly tying.
Of course in different times we wouldn't have even heard about it.
