Get the subject matter right
Ok, I don't know if this has been talked about and I never write on message boards, but as a flyfisherman who went to this movie because of the subject (read "not romance flick), I was disappointed the writers and directors did not get the flyfishing stuff right.
First, they used spey rods, which are a kind of flyfishing rod. No prob here, but they casted them like fly rods, not spey rods. Clearly the director didn't know, but for us flyfisherman the actors looked STUPID casting a spey rod like a flyrod. The motion is completely different.
Second, the gear was fit for a 50 lb king salmon, not the pink salmon they showed. The actors again looked stupid with such huge gear. It was like they had a deer gun hunting rabbits.
Third, a salmon is born in fresh water, spends its adult life in salt water, and returns to fresh water to spawn (lay eggs). So folks, if you introduce adult salmon from a fish farm (which is in salt water), the salmon would DIE. The only way you could introduce salmon into fresh water would be to introduce fry or parr (baby salmon). But that wouldn't make for good salmon shots would it? They should've changed it to Trout Fishing in Yemen. Trout don't migrate to salt water.
