Great! I'll never look at that movie the same. Just like I'll never look at Ned Beaty the same after the movie Deliverance.

Correct me if I'm wrong; but didn't they film most of the river scenes on the Gallatin?...even though it's suppose to be on the Black Foot.

the tight water shots of when they are kids and also when they take buster fishing are the Boulder River, the waterfall shot is done in wyoming.. at the end when he get old and recites the poem he is in the canyon on the gallatin south of Bozeman. and the ariel shot in the beginning is the headwaters of the yellowstone. so heres the best factoid.. all of the fish are stock pond native montana fish.. no hooks were used at any time in the movie, instead the mono was tied through the fishes jaw... and the fish were played,, put back in an ariated tank and safely returned to their home-.... the humane society had a person on set at all the fishing scenes, to ensure the fishes safety....

What is a triangle taped line? And I can hardly believe they had to protect a few trout in the making of this film. I guess that the world we live in.

Triangle taper in my own humble opinion is the finest dry fly line produced.. it is made by royal wulff and shoots an astonishing distance yet can be carried in the air quite easily... as far as the fish in the movie,, hard to believe?.. the best thing about this forum is I don't care if anyone believes me.. but I have a very personal connection to this movie.. and all I can say is robert redford is a tree hugging pussy... and I know becouse Ive met him, so in closing.. the best fact I have to give.. in the book all the fishing takes place on the blackfoot.. in the book they used hooks, in the book they ate what they caught, in the book all the rods and reels were correct... in the book is Normans heart, the loss of his brother, the memories of his youth.... his story...all are reall, kill your telivision.. and read a book-... oh, and make sure you always have a climbing back cast-
