Friday "Gone Fishing"

[imschur]

Friday is the first of two or three annual treks I take to the northeast corner of CT to fish for Trout or Small Mouth Bass in the picturesque Housatonic River.

 

I will also defy doctors orders and risk health troubles to dine on New York Strip, baked potato's and buttered corn all cooked over real charcoal on my "Lodge Cast Iron Grill"

 

Here is a with images from an earlier trip

nice pics, that looks like a good time.

 

Just to make my general comment on doctors orders + dietary guidelines, most doctors have no idea what they are talking about. What your average doctor uses as guidelines are what the American Heart Association shoves, which even though over 60 years old now has NO scientific evidence of lengthening lifespan. It may reduce deaths from cardiovascular disease, but funny enough people who eat that way end up just dying of other crap instead, with the same lifespan. The whole reasoning behind it in the first place was a horribly flawed study. It partially came from total cholesterol being the first blood lipid test that doctors came up with, and they saw that a lot of people who died from cardiovascular disease also had high cholesterol. But thats just correlation, not causality and yet they demonized cholesterol. The American Heart Association became such a big player $$ wise and politically that its impossible for reality to intrude into them.

 

If you want to read a pretty interesting book that goes into the real research and explains the fallacy of most doctor recommendations on diet its

Ah then it makes more sense but is sadder because its not just them being dumb. Pity. Once a year shouldn't be bad though :)

Looks like my trip will be rained out.

Sometimes rain is good for fishing as long as water doesn't get to high.A day outside is a fun day.
