Lucky Hat?

I have this favorite fishing hat. It's a simple brown Simms baseball hat. Comfy, fits great. Looking a little rough these days -- some stains, a bit of fading. But I realized last weekend, it's my favorite. When I'm not wearing it on the water, things just don't seem quite right. But when I am, I feel like Master Fisherman.

Thus far, I've caught steelhead, brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, salmon, and largemouth and smallmouth bass in it. It's survived rain, sweat, sunscreen, and bug repellent.

At some point, it's going to look to rough for the river. And that will be a sad day indeed. May need to start considering its replacement!

Tight lines!
