but money CAN buy fishing stuff, and that's kind of the same thing!

I really wanted some custom embroidery of fishing related stuff, so I worked with an awesome person to get my patch and she made some luggage tags for me too.  See attached pic of the goods.

OK, the top one is kinda girly.... but the NWKA one rocks!  I like how it omits the lesser states covered by NWKA too.  >:D

You should see my purse, the shoes and the dress too!   

I made a NWKA with the Washington State profile too. AK, CA, ID..those are kinda tough.  I am originally from Montana, but they don't have no stinkin salmon/steelhead there!  Maybe if I get skilled enough at ocean fishing, I'll make some bling for the ORC and share some ORC 2014 likeness.

  Love the patch Barb,

 Hope you do make it to ORC 2014 and bring a few of those with you. I'm sure they will be a hit.
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

Whoever says money can't buy you happiness is one poor person with a grudge.  Can it buy the ultimate happiness? probably not.  Can't it buy you love?  That's scary.  Can you be happy without money?  Absolutely. 

My outbacks and the gas money to get to my fishing spots are absolute proof that it buys at least me happiness.  Especially when I have enough of it that I can spring for a nice warm hotel room with a hot shower instead of sleeping in my truck...lol.  Unfortunately for me there is a very good chance I will get to test that theory shortly.  My family first and my fishing...that's the minimum line I am drawing... but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do!!!! 

oh...cool custom stuff!!!

Money can't buy happiness, but it can reduce misery.
Relax. You'll live longer.

Love the artwork,  but I would ask that anyone ask for permission before using the site name in any fashion.

FWIW, we rarely say no (I can't recall if we ever have), but would at least like to have a discussion with the intent of preserving "brand identity".  Thanks.

Which state is that patch supposed to represent? Washington, Oregon, Montana, Rhode Island? When you live in the largest state with the greatest fishing, you tend to accept that those lower states all look the same.   :o
