Let’s be clear; I’m not endorsing the video advertised in the following trailer as much as recognizing its existence, though I am wondering just how bad America’s drug problem has become.
Still…
A fly fishing comedy short (isn’t that redundant)? Remember, telling us it’s comedy does not make it a reality (dieing is easy, it’s funny that’s hard), but because we love comedy at the Underground (which explains a lot about my life), we’ll wait for the movie.
The makers themselves have this to say (and yes, the all-caps stuff is theirs):
GO WEST TV IS A NEW FLY FISHING COMEDY THAT WILL BE FEATURED ON THE FLY FISHING FILM TOUR. (http://www.flyfishingfilmtour.com/ ) THIS YEAR. IT IS A SHORT FILM ABOUT 2 GUYS THAT GREW UP FLY FISHING THE FRONT RANGE OF COLORADO. TWO OF THEM ARE COMEDIANS!
For now, we admit that parts of the trailer made us laugh – but many others left even the comedy-friendly Wonderdog (wag, wag) cringing. Which is it going to be when the popcorn’s eaten and the lights come up?
See you in the screening room, Tom Chandler.
Think this is funny try Bill Dance bloopers, that video is just hillarious.

You haven’t seen comedy until you’ve seen me fly fishing, especially when I’m trying to do that nymphing thing, whada they call it, “Czech Nymphing”? Geeeez Us! The “Jim as a river swimmer” is always good, as well.

Tom – your talents are wasted here. You must make film!

Well, the guy falling in at 0:20 made me laugh.

I have to say that it brought a smile to my face :)
Or perhaps I just like the Petshop boys

Yeah, but you Scottish types have proven yourselves rather odd over the years. Haggis?

Odd is good. Haggis is very good. Just what this kind of snowy weather calls for.

I saw the film at the Fly Fishing Show this last weekend in Denver and bought a copy. I cannot tell you how hard I laughed. These guys are hilarious.

Good. A hopeful sign.

Wow, that was really awful. Thanks for the post, Tom. The fly fishing public has to be warned.

The guys at go west have posted another clip from the film on youtube. I liked it. Here is the link Tom.

These guys are not funny, the big guy seems as if he went to school for that. Is not natural comedy. They are trying to hard.
