THE LATEST NEWS and advice on fly fishing, fly fishing gear, fly fishing trips, and fly fishing books and media.The Diet Debate: Golfing vs. Fly Fishing
Just in case you won't be buying in to the Alli craze but instead are deciding whether to fly fish or golf on your summer vacation, 'Diet Detective" Charles Stuart Platkin gives you the food equivalents of practicing each activity for an hour. "Golfing with a cart burns 245 calories an hour (about 1/2 cup Baskin Robbins Cherries Jubilee Ice Cream), whereas fly-fishing in a stream (including walking in the water wearing waders) burns as much as 420 calories (one slice of Papa John's Pan Crust The Meats)."

Oh THANK GOD! My wife has had us on that sex diet for the past 18 months. Now I can tell her fishing burns just as many calories and do that instead. Whew!
