Non rain days it is a navy blue with a yellow embroidered Lamiglas across it.

Rain days is my felt Indiana Jones hat. Not only does it keep the rain off my head, neck and face but it looks cool too. Not as cool as Indiana Jones but I don't carry a bull whip either!

I have dozens of hats but the true lucky hat says " Vikings " as in the football team.

How that could be lucky is beyond anyones guess. Its getting pretty old and rattie so It only comes out when extreme mojo is needed.

I agree with ya Sol-on-the-duck, but I did have a labatts blue hat that was just getting broke in, roe, sweat, blood, fishslime stains pretty much covering it. Fishing on a windy day about a month ago the SOB flew off from my head into a fast run and that was the last I have seen of it. I am currently bonding with a new cap but she just does not have the same fit.

Well here was mine. Got that hat when I got my loop in my spey fishing days. Over the summer, and fall it became part of my body. Until this past summer in 6ft rollers, a fish hits on a dipsey rod and poof it blasts like 15ft in the air then hits the water, felt like throwing up . Here she be with one of your fine west coast specimens.

Got a forest green ball cap...no logos or writing..just the cap. It's seen many a fish roll over the transom and find the beach.

Worst time for it was when I was working on the boat this summer...and I'm a "sweater". Got so's I couldn't stand to be near me own hat...thing was ripe!

Wife took it, washed it. Came out nice, but seems to have lost a bit of the mojo it had...still, I won't leave home without it.



Did almost lose it once...it blew off my head and into the current while bank fishing. Fortunately, I had my trusty 10' Lami spoon rod in hand and made a perfect downriver cast of about 20'. HAT ON!!

I used to believe in lucky hats---I don't any more. It's a rediculous superstition. :rolleyes:

Unlucky hats are a different story---they are voodoo.

My old lucky now retired. Was an animal beer hat that had a picture of a duck on it with googles and scarf flying out of control. With the saying Get schmidt faced. Now I dont have a particular lucky hat but have to be wearing one.

Used to be "Willie Boats" ballcap. After years of frying my neck and ears in the sun, I've switched over to a wide brim felt in the winter and wide brim straw for ventilation in the summer.

I retired my old "Plutonium Finishing Plant" hat this fall and am sporting a new "Tri-Cities Prep" hat that seems to work well. Of course I carefully broke in the new one by bringing both along when I knew the fish would be biting, to make sure the mojo transferred properly... \:D

I don't know about lucky, but it has to be my Ross logo in red , putty(Tan) or the F_C crackleback in red.. Ok, I am a hat whore. I am going on over 25 plus... hope to add 3 or 4 more for the holidays.

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?
