I'm posting this question because I've heard a lot from veteran fly fishers about how the popularity of fly fishing took off after the movie "A River Runs Through it" came out. I've been a fly fisher since I was 12, so that places me in the sport before the movie came out. But, I guess I never really payed attention to how much the sport was growing or why it was growing, so I'd like to hear from some seasoned fishers about what the sport was like pre-"River" compared to what it is today, and if the movie had that much of an influence on the sport.
