anyone know how to access a list of that sort?

Its $40 to join, and gain access to the entire records list.

Call IGFA headquarters and ask about the current fly fishing records, it will cost you a phone call.

I am pretty sure every local library should a copy in the reserve section. At least they did when I was a kid at my library

but why so hard to obtain?

It couldnt be easier to find the records with conventional gear. Snobby fly fishermen keeping everything to them selves.

I say that as i plan my first fly fishing expedition this weekend.
