Hi Gents,
As the title says please post a photo of a Fishing Hat (used preferably) that you own. I'm betting there are going to be a few interesting examples out there, with some interesting stories as well.
I'm posting this in the General section as I was torn between the Salt & Fresh Water Forums, as some of us use the same Hat(s) for both.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'll start it of with my oldest (yes I have a few...) Fishing Hat. My wife gave this Tilley to me for my Birthday about 35 years ago. It's an original, 100% cotton, Made in Canada. It started it's life with me using it while Fly Fishing in the Kamloops region, but it graduated to chasing Salmon in the Northern Pacific, and I even wore it water skiing one time. (Just for grins. And yes, it does Float!)

Just a minute ago I looked inside the small pouch in the crown of the hat (see below) and noticed it still had the zip-lock bag with the little "Brag Tags" inside it.
The Hat Eating Elephant story is a classic!

With this Tilley on, I caught many a Fish and enjoyed my days in the sun.
Do you have a Hat (and maybe a story) to share with the Gang? Please post it here. Thanks![Smiling face with sunglasses :sunglasses: 😎](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png)
