Good point Al.

I need to fish more where the sun don't shine.  You guys fishing the backwoods have got it right.  Don't need sunscreen, you get a cardio work-out with a purpose, no poison ivy, very few assholes (except your own).

By the way - the guy who stocks the Mitchell wears a Tilley now.  I'm gonna have to stop tipping him so much.  But then the bastard will probably stopp calling me when he leaves the hatchery.
Stalk softly and carry a green stick.

Been a firm believer in the straw hat for some years now. I like wearing a shade tree on my head. Highly recommended

I hear you Al.  I wore a straw hat for years guiding and working.  This spring it finally went to be with God so I replaced it with a tilley and yes tranny it is hemp so if I run out I can smoke it in a pinch! :-X  After making some minor modifications, it fits and wears well.  I am a big believer in hats, skin cancer seems a punk ass way to go out...  I am holding out hope for something better


Gofisher, nothing wrong with wearing a hat you like.  I like mine and wear it farming and fishing.  Don't think anyone is saying "those people" (me included) are better or worse than anyone else.  What ever works for you, go for it.  The thread started as an interesting redneck conversation over a few beers in a parking lot after catching fish while watching a group get dressed and not ever get wet, little lone catch fish.
