Though I really doubt Brad Pitt could throw a line 65-70 feet! Not
with the fly lines of the day. Rods used were bamboo; correct. Line
was was brown-yellow also accurate. Fish were Rainbows; accurate. No
salmon in Montana!
The big fish caught by Pitt just before his was killed was a Dolly
Varden, or maybe a Bull Trout -- they are almost identical.
But what he was fighting as he swam downstream was a plastic bucket.
cheers
