Caption Contest: Write The Best, Win an Orvis Hat

By Tim Romano

A couple of weeks ago the Fly Fishing industry had its annual trade show. As the show came to a close I walked by to say good by to some friends at the Orvis booth and noticed this massive pile of fly reels they were packing up and just had to snap a photo.


You know the drill. Write the funniest caption to this photo and win a camo vintage style mesh trucker hat from Orvis. We'll announce a winner next week - TR
