Rather interesting to note..

Comment comment by ldsudduth on 30 March 2007

From the website here, that my particular favorite sport burns calories per hour like this (based on a 150lb person):

    • Fishing from boat, sitting, 176
    • Fishing from river bank, standing, 246
    • Fishing in stream, in waders, 422
    • Fishing, general, 281
    • Fishing, ice, sitting, 141

It's not surprising; pro tournament level anglers can make upward of 200 casts per hour. I probably average somewhere around 60 casts/hour. Although, I do wonder on the Ice Fishing if they took into account shivering and teeth chattering?
