Went Monday afternoon with Bonnie to see "Salmon Fishing in Yemen" at the Fifth Avenue Cinemas. Cute movie - certainly helped cheer us up as the weather was bitterly cold, windy and depressing.
Ewan McGregor as Dr. Alfred Jones, a fishing scientist from the Agriculture Department of the British Government, is asked to make the dream of a Yemen Sheik to introduce salmon into mountain rivers in Yemen come true. Seems like a hairbrained scheme, and the movie deals with overcoming skepticism, disbelief and all the obstacles of making happen. The Sheik got the idea because he has a fishing lodge in Scotland and loves flycasting for salmon in the Scottish rivers.
