Yes, that must be the case. Was watching "A River Runs Through It" again the other evening. Not sure, but the vintage tackle used in that Redford produced movie looked to be 3 piece W&M Grangers and Pflueger Medalist fly reels, silk lines I suspect. But if the scenes on the Big Blackfoot River were true, and not staged, man that's a lot of fast water-deep too. I have never fished in CO- just Montana and Idaho- then Calgary and the Bow River- Great memories indeed.. RWTF
Walton Powell told me that the rods in the movie were his graphite hexagonal rods. They look exactly like cane and he even finished them with a bamboo grain. I own two of them. Not really rods to my liking but do represent another early attempt to utilize graphite. Obviously, they are quite obsolete now—a failed attempt.
