Tom, I think he meant 'lard', not butter- too many pounds of lard... LOL That's maybe a subject for a thread. Getting/staying in shape for fishing. I know it helped a great deal getting in better shape last summer when I went to Florida with the Mokai.
Dr. D ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Davenport It is an interesting theory, but I have never tried to present a fly with a pound of butter. Carry around too many pounds of butter and you might have a hard time finding your fly! Tom " If your rod weighs six ounces, your reel nine, and your line another ounce or two, it means that you are holding a pound of weight in your casting hand - much of the time at arm's length - all the time you fish. Try carrying a pound of butter around that way for four or five hours." Ted Trueblood ( from Zern's book)
