The L&T Nancy (our Agent of Random Chance) made her blind selection, and out of the hat popped truckeetom(nee tom)’s number.
Clearly, fate smiled broadly on the mysterious truckeetom — the winner of what the New York Times called the “most desirable canoe-themed hat ever given away on a fly fishing blog.”**
Interestingly, truckeetom’s message also promised to cover the TU’s butt by covering the head of the TU’s dad:
If I am chosen for the vanity of the hat , I will personally donate one of my many favorite fishing ball caps to Mr Chandler Sr. Ha, take that!
It’s not as if we’re going to enforce his promise, but we will drop the parental units’ address in the outgoing box and see what happens.
Of course, none of the above will occur if truckeetom doesn’t contact us with his mailing address (use the contact form page).
We Loved the Contest So Much, We Bought the Company
Frankly, I enjoy enriching the lives of my readers with brilliant commentary on fly fishing AND with wildly valuable prizes. In fact, we’re doing the contest thing again fairly soon. Stay tuned…

WHeeeeeee…. I’d like to thank my Mom and Late father for the opportunity to fly fish and win cool stuff like this. Thanks to the producer and director of the contest TC (et al). Above all, thanks L&T Nancy! I hate to be an idiot but where is the contact form page. And YES I will honor my promise. as for all the other worthy contestants, see you on the river.

What do you think of making this an annual give away of the same hat. Each winner would log the adventures of the hat. We would have a pretty cool book after a decade, dont you think. Think of the sweat rings .

You can find the site menu at the top of the page — click on the “Contact” link.
And no, there’s absolutely no way we’re trading the same hat. That violates the law of common decency, if not thermodynamics… Tom Chandler(Quote)

Being as the winner is somebody I’ve never, ever met, I think that’s a tough sell. Still, maybe we’ll hold an investigation and garner some headlines and a little traffic… Tom Chandler(Quote)
