About this listen

 Life for the MacLean family in Missoula, Montana, in 1937 centers around family, fly fishing and the Big Blackfoot River. Fly fishing is the one activity where the family can bridge troubled relationships, where brother can connect with brother and father with son. And in the end, it is through the river that they realize how life continues and all things are related. This is a universal story of family love and a lyrical masterpiece, as beautiful as the great trout rivers of western Montana upon which it is set.©1976 by The University of Chicago (P)1992 HighBridge Company; 16 9; 2000 HighBridge Company Anthologies & Short Stories Biographical Fiction

If you loved the movie you will love the book

I remember reading this long before the movie was released. It is a favorite movie as I spend a lot of time in Montana. The book brings to life some of the great rivers in Montana, along with an interesting story.

Riveting

A story about fishing somehow made riveting. The excellent narration really transports you to another place. A great listen.
