New "Hook Shots:" Colorado Trout Marathon
Some of you who read Kirk Deeter and Tim Romano's Fly Talk blog may have picked up that I paid them a visit in their home state of Colorado a couple weeks ago. A trip to beat up some rivers with these guys was long overdue. As often happens on a "Hook Shots" quest, the wind follows me. This trip was no different, but we persevered, had a blast, caught some fish, and even got chased by a moose.
This episode would not have come together so well without Kirk and Tim's help. I owe those guys. Not only did I get a crash course in Colorado fall trout fishing, but learned that if Kirk is making you authentic Chicago-style hot dogs, he'll go as far as to wear a white paper dog-vendor hat while doing so. Tim, I found out, will sleep in 40mph winds in a tent with the thickness equivalent of a garbage bag so his guest can lounge in a comfy tent that won't blow off the canyon rim. Good times all around. Oh, and we had lots of extra footage which I'm sure will end up in their blogs.
Hope you enjoy the show. -- JC

If you have one or two people in your life you can truly call friends you are blessed. Sounds as if you are surrounded by them!
Great video. I'm glad to see that TR finally got a speaking role. It would also appear the he who edits the film catches the most fish. And Deeter, don't think for a second that this Buckeye didn't see your hat at 5:55.
Great job guys. I hate to sound that a broken record but this stuff needs to get on TV.
Hook shots just keep getting better and better. And you guys get to do this for a living. I am jealous.
Did I see a WRX wagon on the trip out? The ultimate vehicle - sports car performance, handling, and power, plus off-road capability. Nice.
WRX. Damn straight. That's my ride and I've beat the crap out of it towing a boat. had to replace my rotors twice. Tranny is going too. Great car overall, but I need a truck... It's a sweet Colorado ride, that's for sure.
Tim Speaks! Looks like an awesome trip!
Cermele, there is no such thing as a good Chicago style outside of Illinois. Get out my way and Ill show you real Chicago food (And fishing.)

The dogs were shipped to my home from Portillo's. KD
Ah... they are still 2nd to super dawg. (Chicago original.)
good video, hated the music though
I actually dug the music... better than some sappy, stereotypical bluegrass tied to fly fishing.
Sorry to hear that Elkslayer. What can I say? Hook Shots isn't for everyone I guess.
I want some of that.......whatever it takes. Big Daddy Wags is back to work and I need to get caught up on some trip planning.
You guys look like you had a blast, even squeezed in some good fishing between laughs. That is what a trip is supposed to be. I think I would like to see some more of the "stock-up" at the market. Much humor I'm guessing, although maybe not all appropriate for this particular website.
That moose reminds me of the old cartoon where the big moose had the little rack, and the little moose had the big rack.......
Wow, I just re-read that line and realized I sound like a perv. Anyone in the 35-45 yr range want to back me up on the cartoon recall?
Nice work guys. I rarely sit through an almost 10 minute video, but that one had me hooked. I need to get on the water!
Watch out for the fall moose hatch!
