Nice fish downtime. I feel for you on the hat story.

Here's my old faithful.... actually that should be past tense.... HERE WAS.... since Willapa Bay claimed my lucky hat back in August. Still can't believe it sank that fast!


I'm still grieving after 4 months because this hat was with me not only for some of my most productive steelhead days, but also for the three biggest kings I've ever had on hook and line.

I'm still looking around for a replacement, folks. Anybody seen one of these babies at any of the sporting goods stores lately?
