Author Bob Rich on the movie "Looking Through Water"
Bob Rich is the author of five books, his latest “Looking Through Water” has been adapted into a major motion picture starring Michael Douglas and will be in theaters nationwide September 12, 2025.
Like its predecessor “A River Runs Through It,” “Looking Through Water” is about family and how fly fishing can tear them apart or bring them closer together. Bob reveals the behind-the-scenes involved with making a movie, and the major difficulties involved with creating realism in a saltwater environment. You will love this conversation with a down-to-earth angler who has fished around the world, caught everything from panfish to 1,000-pound marlin, called President George H. W. Bush his friend, and is fondly known as “Bubba” by his many, many fishing friends. He is chairman and majority owner of Rich Products, a major donor and supporter of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust—we also take a deep dive into BTT, why it is important, and how they are making giant strides forward using science as a tool. Bob hails from Buffalo New York and we also jump into the topic of Buffalo wings. If you dip your wings in ranch, you are doing it wrong, and Bob will set you straight.
