Yesterday\u2019s post suggests a combination<\/strong> of poor economics and seasonal excess have woken you to fly fishing’s retail malaise, where you\u2019re prepared to let the vendors\u00a0auger in under the weight of pricey zipper-front waders, multi-thousand dollar fly rods, and titanium imbued vest accessories, featuring trout shaped drink openers \u2026<\/p>\n

Given that\u00a0bleak economic outlook, and if they’re not buying fishing tackle,\u00a0where are \u201cmanly men\u201d spending those precious dollars budgeted for recreation?<\/p>\n

Plastic Surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTypically people think of celebrities and high profile men going under the knife,\u201d said Stephen Baker, MD, an ASPS Member Surgeon based in Washington DC. \u201cAnd while that may be true, the typical male cosmetic surgery patient that I see is an average guy who wants to look as good as he feels. Most of my patients are \u2018men\u2019s men,\u2019 the kind of guy you might not think would have plastic surgery.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Statistics released today suggest we\u2019re about to jettison the whole woodsy thing in preference for looking woodsy. Actually “being outdoorsy”\u00a0having all manner of discomforts including; no street lights, mosquitoes, and\u00a0cold at night \u2026<\/p>\n

For us anglers it’s\u00a0no longer appropriate to hoist the fish of a lifetime with outstretched arms. Instead, a\u00a0Hero pose\u00a0includes\u00a0a Botox stiffened expression, ample cleavage, liposuction, and male breast reduction \u2026<\/p>\n

The list is comprised of the fastest-growing surgical and minimally-invasive procedures from 2009 to 2010. Criteria for inclusion: Procedure performed on at least 1,000 men in 2010. (Surgical procedures are listed in bold). <\/em><\/p>\n

  1. Facelift – 14% Increase<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) \u2013 11% Increase <\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Soft Tissue Fillers \u2013 10% Increase<\/li>\n
  4. Botulinum Toxin Type A \u2013 9% Increase<\/li>\n
  5. Liposuction \u2013 7% Increase <\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Breast Reduction in Men – 6% Increase <\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Eyelid Surgery – 4% Increase <\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Dermabrasion – 4% Increase <\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Laser Hair Removal – 4% Increase<\/li>\n
  10. Laser Treatment of Leg Veins – 4% Increase<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once our angling media spots the trend, Fly Fisherman will regale us with an annual \u201cGutz & Buttz\u201d Issue \u2013 rival to Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Spectacular – and we can jettison\u00a0strike indicator articles in favor of Top 10 lists featuring; Best dressed, Best Unsmiling Pose, Most BreastMeat, Best Thousand Yard Stare, and Tightest Montana Guide Ass \u2026<\/p>\n

    \u2026 which with obligatory centerfolds will sell millions of copies on both coasts (and none in the center)\u00a0 \u2026 giggle \u2026<\/p>\n
