Would the story have worked as well without the fly fishing? For example, what if the women became friends through a book club or and then sometimes had girls' weekends away? I think the fly fishing get-togethers at the cabin were more than just friends hanging out. The setting was very serene and it gave each of the women a chance to relax and recharge. Being outdoors and fishing was a calming experience for them.
Yes it would have. I feel like the book was more about friendship than fly fishing. Also the sport was used as a common ground for bringing the women together, so any common interests would have worked the same way.
The fly fishing was a good touch though.
