The River Why

So I just finished reading The River Why and thought it was fantastic.  It's no wonder that it is considered the second greatest book about fly fishing after A River Runs Through It.  Rich and I have gotten into a debate about whether or not having a spouse who fishes is a good thing.  Personally, I think it would be a good thing.  Then they'd understand why you love heading off to the river every weekend (even though you'd have to occasionally have them tag along with you). 

But if the significant other is anything like the actress, Amber Heard, who plays the role of Eddy in the cinematic version of The River Why, then I think that only helps to support my opinion.  

That's right.  Another great flyfishing book is being turned into a movie.  It's already in the post-production stage, so hopefully it'll be out by this fall.  And with Gus being played by that kid from the tv show, "Friday Night Lights", and H2O being played by William Hurt, it sounds like the cast is pretty dead on what I'd expect the characters to be like.  

Let's just hope they don't butcher it and that these actors have been taught how to properly mend the line and roll cast.
