Too many streams too little time

Funny I came across this article this morning asking fisherman to post pics of their lucky or I guess favorite fishing hat. Unfortunately for me my Lab got a hold of my all time favorite finding hat whe she was a pup and tore it to shreds. It's actually the only thing of mind she ever destroyed (except for a whole philly cheese steak which she actually took out of my hands and consumed in one swallow before I could even react) I have way too many hats but my blue ribbon flies hat was my favorite and of course they changed them when I went to get a replacement. My fishing hats are just one way to remember the places I was fortunate enough to fish and the friends I was even luckier to fish with over the years. On a trip to Jackson hole many years ago, my wife and I took a drive up to west Yellowstone. It was early spring and the weather was still a bit uncertain as evidenced by the fact we had to find an alternate route when the more scenic approach was blocked by an avalanche the night before. On your way we stopped in at the legendary Henry's fork angler and I picked up a long billed logo hat that is my current favorite hat.
I like the trucker hats they have today but they suck if you are out in bright sun all day I have always loved the fishermans fedora but they are not at all comfortable nor do I look good in them When I fish certain places out west I go for the more unction sun hats so I don't immolate in the hot sun. I'm sure all the cool guys in this thread will say they wear whatever hat is in the closet professing not to worry about trivial stuff like what's on their head. I see you guys on the stream with hats so old and cruddy they should be quarantined. You look ridiculous
