If most of you are like me, winter can be a time when those holiday pounds start to add up. I have recently discovered some interesting findings on fitness magazine.com. Fly-fishing in a stream (including walking in the water wearing waders) burns as much as 420 calories an hour. Okay that is not much but if you fish an average of 4 hours per session you will be burning as much as 1680 calories. (this is not including fishing in the winter time which burns more calories as your body is trying to stay warm) Now I am not expecting this to be the next big exercise craze, but for those of us that are stuck behind a desk all day long, a good fishing trip maybe just what the doctor ordered.
