Spent some time outside CA for the fourth of July, did some sight seeing and a little fishing. Visited some the country's most famous waters, had one 20 fish day and smaller catches on two others.

Now, to win a hot off the embroidering machine limited edition putah creek trout cap all you have to do is answer the following questions

1. Where in the US (state) am I (hint: I'm on the western side of the Gravelly Range, south of Virginia City and Alder). 

2. What am I proudly holding?

3. What is the brand name of my silly looking hat? What happens if its trampled to pieces by a bison?

4. What river am I fishing-yes river-not a creek.

5. I caught 3 other species and one hybrid among my 20 fish. Name them.

6. Tie breaker #1 (if needed): which species native to the river that can be taken on the fly did I NOT catch? #2: which  stretch of the river am I fishing?

7. Most correct gets the prize

Excellent responses, but not all the way there (4 right, but which ones). Knowing your background, the hat should be a snap.

Tilley it is. You and M earned a cap, but PCT does not make any guarantees against loss, theft, or damage.
