Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/135 We hear the story behind the story and the movie A River Runs Through It.   Still to this day the greatest fly fishing movie of all time.  John Dietsch was the stunt man for Brad Pitt and lead the fly fishing team that created the fishing scenes in the movie. We hear some of the great stories that made this the greatest movie of all time.  The story was about family, about death and addiction.  The story was not about fly fishing as Robert Redford told John many times during production.  Enjoy!
