Caption Contest: Win Some Buff Headwear
By Tim Romano
I struggled how to work this image into a blog post about fly fishing for the past couple of weeks. Then it hit me...The caption contest. I mean, how could I not post this gem of a restroom sign? I found it while shooting a web story for F&S about stocking the high altitude lakes with airplanes (story forthcoming). I figure the bathroom was in a Department of Wildlife airplane hanger, and the pilot was stocking fish, so yeah - I can post it on a fly fishing blog. Right?

I know we never announced the winner of the last caption contest for the Petzl headlamp, but let's give this one a week, plus a couple of days and I'll announce the winners together. You know the drill. Pretend like you're writing a caption for the image above. Preferably funny and relatively clean. We'll pick a winner. This week's winner will receive a multi-functional headwear piece called a "Buff". Basically an option for those who can't stand wearing sunscreen. Click here to check them out. Good luck.

Brown Trout Department
Out of the contest Mr.Romano:
I sicerely believe that is a joke among employees at the site.
If you work with game management, you'll probably need to use one of these, especially if you just got charged by a grizzly.
Little Deeter just had to show his buddies the biggest brown trout of his life.
Buck wins automatically! Just kidding, not my contest, but damn...
Wildlife Biologist, Pete Treehugger, was excited about his new job until he saw his new office.
Department of the Interior, Brown Trout Hatchery and Research Division.
I present you the new Carp hatchery.
Your complaints go in the white receptical with the green lid. Don't mind the water, it just accelerates our process...
Well fellas, we had to make a few cut backs and,well...
Look at the Brown I just landed!!!
If you think this is funny, you should see where we put the Restroom sign.
Traditionally the warden's interest in your harvest ended once it was processed and in your freezer. Under the new administration a more invasive and thorough approach has been instituted.
I won this thing called a "buff" in a caption contest. I'm not really sure what it is, but I used it for something and then I put it in there and pushed the little handle.
Poaching Welcome.
Please rate us on a scale from 1 - 2
Well fellas, this is where we keep our largest brown trout if you like to know!!!
This is where missouri comes up with allot of it's management practices. Always trying to put hatchery trout where they can't support themselves. Or they use my beloved trout like pay lakee fishing (Bennett Springs state park). So it's nice to see where they do all there thinking.
Man, I know I've always said our state's game management program was in the toilet, but this is ridiculous!
In the midst of looking for the plans to properly build woodduck nesting boxes,The young warden captures a rare glimps of the proverbial "TOP of corporate LADDER".
Off the wall, off the lid, nothin' but bowl.
and in here is where C'Mere Deer was developed!
headquarters for planning and population control tactics.
Looking to spawn some browns, who forgot to refill the TP!!
...After all, President Obama's newest advisory Czar post, GAME MANAGEMENT, must also have a throne, right?????
A bear might do it in the woods, but I'm not gonna!
After complaints started building up, the Department of Wildlife finally installed a suggestion box.
Due to budget cutbacks and the tough economy, the Game and Fish Dept. was forced to relinquish the tanker trucks and come up with innovative ways to stock brown trout.
Filing Department for Idaho's Elk Herd, had to make room for new Wolf Management offices.
Wait until you see the sign on the other side of the door.
What worries me in the picture is the lack of a toilet paper roll, and a severely soiled towel above the toilet...is the government banning disposable toilet paper due to budget and environmental concerns??? I hope not...sharing a butt towel is not something I would look forward to....
And this is where our city folk bring their unwanted reptiles ....
The DNR's new throne room.
Quality is our motto: We hatch our trophy Browns one at a time!
It appears someone has flushed all the game in this management area.
Practicing catch and release...
No carry permit required, avoid towel.
I quess Bears really don't do it in the woods after all.
this is where we keep the big ones
And here to your right is the virtual training simulation where you test your skills in air dropping brown trout to back country lakes
This is where the Fish Wildlife and Parks get all the meat after its been digested to see if the meat is contaminated.
Is it possible there was another toilet with a Metallic Mint Green Lid
"Off to the left here, you will notice our state of the art facility where we spawn and hatch the department's game wardens."
No high altitude dumps in this area!
Jay knew there were perks to the job, but an executive bathroom!?
"I'll give you a dollar if you touch that towel"
Come in here. I will just wipe down our attack for tomorrow.
Free Wifi!
Ladies and gentlemen. After years of testing and millions of dollars in research we have developed the perfect way to release fish from an airplane. I present to you...
A lot of people had told Mr. Deeter that the game management guys were full of crap, but being dyslexic he thought they had said carp... Until he saw there office!!!
Due to cuts in the budget the Fish&Game department had to make a few changes in the new department office. Unfortunately due to poor planning they were left with only 2 locations for a bathroom. It was either here or the lobby.
Welcom to the tour of the Game Management facility, this is Johns office......
"and behind this door is were we keep our Big Browns"
"Yip we practice catch and release daily"
How about Brown Eel Research?
Your paperwork was submitted and processed.
So that's where they released the big browns.
Swim at own risk....riptide area
Denver Metro Platte River stocking facility. Our motto "A fish with every flush".
With the poor economy we wanted to get more from our employees, now they work through bathroom breaks.
Welcome to your first day at work for the government. We had to make cuts so we no longer can buy toilet paper so just use the towl. Make sure you rinse it out and hang it back up when you are done.
So thats where the increase in license fees went...
Here's the home waters of the rare finless brown trout
with proper game management, the Browns WILL make it to the super bowl!!!
Don't you think you are taking these department cut back's a little to serious.
Game Management's new lure testing tank helped researchers make spectacular new advances with brown trout streamer action in whirling eddies.
Game Management's new lure testing tank proved that brown trout absolutely hammer yellow streamers in whirling eddies.
You'd be surprised where invasive species can live
This is where we store our gigantic size brown trout!!!
Some people feel Minnesota fisherman may have gotten the shaft after Game Management received $1.8 million to develop a new lure testing tank that mimics swirling eddies in trout streams.
"Where I go to do my 'paperwork'"
or
"This is the only 'paperwork' I do"
Hunter's load drop off station in here.
Sorry Sir, I can't sell you a permit. It looks like we are out of paper.
The new game management employee lounge

thanks
"DONT KNOW WHY THEY GOT A LOCK THIS DOOR?"Iv'e worked here twelve years.Nobodys so much as ever stole a hand ful.
The Game Management's recycling program includes eliminating toilet paper and using the hand towel to multi-task.
