I had a lot of fun with this one. I used much of the same setup as my homemade landscape challenge and luckily had most of the stuff left over from it.
I dressed the rubber ducky in a custom made(by me) fly fishing vest and hat
The vegetables: are broccoli trees and kale bushes.
The red: the Swedish fish
And the string or rope I used in the fishing pole.
The stream was made by lining the landscape with rocks and fish bowl rocks. I made blue jello and waited for it to set up a bit before pouring it into the river bed and adding the fish.
My light sources were my external flash with a diffuser on it. The second source was natural light from a window to fill in from the other side. And the third was my on board flash heavily diffused to add a fill to the front.

Beautiful, 7 - very nice scene, the clothes on the ducky are a great touch, I probably would have used deeper DOF but then the focus is on the duck! (just noticed the basket! WOW)
Came back to bump up - 10. I LOVE all the creative details in this shot! From the candy fish to the broccoli trees to the sewing spool reel to the outfit on the rubber ducky (it's very hard to dress a duck ). Great creativity and wonderful lighting in this scene. Definately top 5!
A superior image, by all measures. A joy to view. The broccoli forest makes me smile, as do the reddish salmon swimming upstream. Your use of selective blur is spectacular. WOW!!!! Keep up the great work!
