He'd been fishing that stretch of river since the seventies — through every tour, every summer, every season the fish would give him. He kept a little cassette player in his vest pocket, tinny speakers and all, playing the same bootleg from Red Rocks '78 while he worked the riffles. Said the fish liked it. Said the river liked it. Said some music was written for exactly this — cold water, long casts, no particular place to be. When they finally asked him what his secret was, he just smiled, tipped his hat, and said "Let the music play and the river will show you where they are."

For the Deadhead who fishes. For the angler who jams. For everyone who knows the river has its own rhythm.

The Dancing Skeleton Fly Fishing Snapback from Clear Water Trading Co. is where two great American obsessions finally come together on one perfect hat. The crown is a full sublimated rainbow trout skin pattern — gray base, black speckles, yellow and lavender lateral line running ear to ear — the whole hat looks like it just came out of the water. Dead center sits a black square patch with a bold red border: a top-hatted skeleton in full fly fishing form, rod bent, line in the air, completely in its element. The red rope brim detail matches the patch border stitch for stitch. The black perforated brim keeps everything clean and sharp underneath.

This is the hat that makes the fly fishing Deadhead do a double take. Then immediately buy two.
