    Default Priest

    Why do the British call a club used to kill fish a "priest"?

    Because it gives, the fish, the last rites.

    I REALLY GOTTA second that!

    OOPs - Hope this isn't considered religious on a Fly Fishing Site (Sorry JC). I wouldn't a been in so much trouble if I hadn't spent so much time trying to imitate Gaddabout Gaddis.

    I did not tuber, I am non-religious influenced in my youth by Scots Presbyterianism. I have a feeling that this name for the club for disposing of fish goes back a long way. It is the only word for it you will hear in the UK.

    You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it's a real short camping season.
