As Maclean suggests, neither fishing nor fish were what drew his family to the river

Lunchtime in Sacajamea Park: White cavalry tents shield crew and company from the mountain sun, as Redford sits alone beside his aluminum teapot of a trailer, a classic Airstream. Like "River's" props, it might as well be vintage. He's immersed himself in the Macleans' era, hanging photos of their family, reading Paul's newspaper columns, playing Norman's taped lectures and studying his letters.

The Washington Post did this in-depth background piece on A River Runs Through It just prior to the movies premier in D.C. in October of 1992.
