Fish Schtick Episode 80 – Kristi Denton Cohen

If fly fishing has a “book,” in modern times, that book has been “A River Runs Through It,” because that book had a movie and that movie had Brad Pitt. But ask anybody who reads and who has been into fly fishing for more than a year or two what their favorite fly fishing book is, and they’re liable to say “The River Why.” If they don’t say, “The River Why,” they’ll say “Trout Bum” by John Gierach, but that’s another story.
“The River Why” by David James Duncan is epic, beloved, treasured … and now it has a movie, too – one that’s been a long time coming. It stars Zach Gilford, William Hurt, Amber Heard and Kathleen Quinlan.
In this episode of the Schtick we're joined by the producer of the moviw  Kristi Denton Cohen.

I found myself wondering throughout the movie if I would be enjoying it more or less had I not read the book at least three or four times

Tom over at The Drake recently posted a review of the movie.

I Couldn't Read the Book....

....it's just a little too dense for me.
