I fly fish, like Daisy. But my gear weighs almost 20 ounces, so I have no idea how she can get by with less. An 8 foot fly rod, a simple reel, and a box full of flies. I can keep myself entertained for many hours.

And I do usually catch and release these days, but have been known to keep a few when my wife complains too much about not having tasted any nice trout for a while...
