Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.

The movie was a great one. One of Brad's best.
I worked with a guy years ago who was big in the movie indusrty and BIG into the fly fishing, personally taught Brad how to Fly Fish. He said they went out and bought the best of the best and when the movie was over he gave him his rod and reel that was used in the movie.... Now I don't know alot about fishing but that is still pretty cool if you ask me.
Thanks for sharing that video.
