Here's one of me casting in 1986 on De Puy's Spring Creek, fishing a PT nymph upstream. Whatever happened to that handsome young guy?

In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

Thanks Bill.
Boris - I cracked up when I read your comment. Funny.
John - Is the hat considered a river keepers hat, or a ghillie hat? Either way, I love the style and look.

It was called a "British Fishing Helmet" of all things. Similar to a Deerstalker but not exactly the same. Orvis sold them way back. It was the best fishing hat I've ever owned and I wore it until it fell apart. Never seen another quite like it.

Here's another photo of me wearing that hat. Do you know who the other angler is?

Wasn't Earnie known for his Bavarian hat also!
I've seen very few photos of him hatless over the years.
Someone's got to say it, Ray, in case there are any illusions.
