HOHW @ The West Branch Resort

Though the weather kept the crowds away, the Come Hell or High Water event was a success in my book.
The rods tested include, Orvis Hydros, Winston BIIX and Scott S4.  The Hydros 9' for 5 wt. was quite nice.


If you click on the photo of the NEWP booth above you'll be able to more closely examine the snappy New England Wood Pellet banner hanging on the rear of the restaurant.


This photo shows our booth, pellet stove provided by Tall Pines Farm, in all of its green and renewable glory.
As is obvious from the disheveled appearance of the canopy, it was incredibly windy.





Our man Stew, doing his best Vanna White impression, asks for a vowel while displaying the New England Wood Pellet banner in the theater room just prior to the showing of The Fly Fishing Film Tour, the premier event at Hell or High Water.  Several high quality short films were viewed by the good sized audience.  My favorite of the evening was Metalheads.

All in all, the event fell slightly short of expectations due to the weather, including calls for an ark late Friday afternoon, but several stove sales were generated and the wood pellet fuel gospel was spread to many who stopped by to warm up on an unseasonably cool weekend at the "gateway to the Catskills."
