The coming-of-age tale centers on a young man named Gus Orviston (Gilford) and his quest for an elusive rainbow trout, which is a metaphor for the man’s internal search for self-knowledge. Hurt is Gus’ father, while Heard is his love interest, a tomboy fly-fisher. Thomas A. Cohen and John Hay Osborn Jr. wrote the adaptation. Kristi Denton Cohen is producing. Lensing begins in early July in Oregon. Source: The Hollywood Reporter |
