Winding Down
Well, that’s the last official blog entry of the 2006 season. It’s snowing hard here in Montana and I’m gearing up for another winter in the mountains…
I had a lot of fun keeping the blog this summer. I hope you enjoyed reading it.
Many thanks to all the people mentioned in these pages for sharing their conservation projects and trout streams with me. It was their time and generosity that made the blog possible.
I also want to thank T. Grand, Matt Handy, Kenny Mendez and Trout Unlimited for trying this new medium of communication and for making me “The Luckiest Guy in America.”
And most importantly, thanks to those of you who “TUned in” and read the blog. I greatly appreciate your interest and your support.
When winter descends on your neck of the woods, consider taking a few minutes to peruse the blog’s archives (accessible through the menu on the left side of this page). I visited TUers in about 20 states and posted over 60 stories, so I hope at least a few of them will interest you.
Also, when the ground is frozen and the sky is gray, take a look at the photo galleries and I’m sure memories of past fishing seasons will come flooding back.
And next season isn’t far off, so if you liked the blog and you want to see a similar feature in the future, please e-mail your thoughts to me (ladelfio@tu.org) or to my boss, T. Grand (tgrand@tu.org).
Thanks again for reading and supporting coldwater conservation!

Thanks to TU and you for doing this. There were many days at work that I escaped for a few minutes and enjoyed reading your post. Made me look forward to retirement and getting out and going.

Luca-
How are you still alive eating french fries and big macs for a year?
Can you re-enter society and function after fishing for a year?
Well God Bless!
Tight Lines,

Luca-
As an avid fan of the blog, I'd definitely like to see it or something like it continue.
I hope that TU sees the merit in trying new things, and continues to invest in stuff like this.
On a related note, I have to say that I found it somewhat dissappointing that more visitors didn't take the time to add comments. I know that fisher-people (how's that for PC) are an opinionated lot, and it's this diversity of opinions that makes blogs such an exciting new medium.
Thanks again for your efforts. Your pix of fish, streams, and nature did this desk jockey good over the past year.
