    Thumbs up Hot Lunch Tip

    I just got this from a member of a Tennessee fly fishing board.
    He likes hot Burritos for lunch which he prepares the night before wraps in aluminum foil and stick in the fridge. In the morning he preheats the oven to 350 has coffee and pops the Burritos in the oven along with a brick wraped in 3 layers of aluminum foil, the Burritions on the center rack the brick on the bottom. By the time he has showered and dressed everything is nice and hot so he puts a towel in the bottom of a lunchbox size cooler, places the brick on the towel, layers his Burritos over the brick and covers them with another towel. He claims that the Burritos will still be toasty warm at lunch time.

    I will be testing this "Hot Lunch" method on my next trip to the Elk River. There is gas station/general store on the way that has a nice selection of hot sandwichs and great Broasted chicken. Fish below the dam, have a hot (I hope) lunch and then head down stream for the afternoon.

    It does work, used the method several times.

    Being a fly fisher who is concerned with how other fishermen perceive my status on the stream, is there a designer brick that would make me look like an elitist, and not just like an ordinary fisherman who would be satisfied with a cold PB&J or baloney sammich from his uninsulated vest? I would gladly pay $150-$200 for an appropriate brick that would separate me from the commoners on the river. With all of my Orvis endorsed equipment, no ordinary brick will do.

    Please advise.

    Sure Joe, I have just the brick for you. Go ahead and send me the $200 plus $25 shipping and I will give you the brick. Yea, right.

    They say there is one born every minute but I figure you were not one of them Joe.

    I am wondering if a lightweight alternative to the brick might be one of the reusable hand warmers or a couple of the disposable boot warmers that the hunters use to stay warm might work as well. I usually take a small lunch box size insulated cooler with me anyway to hold misc food items in the car along with a thermos of spiced cider. In winter weather taking a break to hike back to my vehicle might be a welcome warm up time but I usually like easy to transport stuff so I don't lose fishing time.
