Auction details |
This very rod was fished by actor Craig Sheffer, who played Norman Maclean in the movie. Prior to its appearance in A River Runs Through It, the rod was refurbished by highly respected Thomas & Thomas and Leonard Co. rod builder, Bob Taylor. Comes in canvas case. This exact fly rod is one of three reels and three rods used by the actors of A River Runs Through It to be sold in this auction. Each appears in the movie and can clearly be viewed during the fishing scenes. The fishing equipment for A River Runs Through It was provided by Len Codella, who served as tackle consultant. Each rod and reel comes with a letter of authentication by Codella, stating their use in the movie. Also included with each item, is a copy of a 1991 letter from John Dietsch, the technical coordinator of A River Runs Through It, written on behalf of the producers, Robert Redford and Patrick Markey, thanking Codella for this contribution to the production of the film. Truly, a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a rod or reel from the most important fishing movie ever filmed.
