West Branch Classic fly festival
#1Did anyone attend the gathering in Stilesville, N.Y. on Sat. or Sun? I was there and a little disappointed that there wasn't more vendors! Nice show otherwise in a really nice venue!

#3I was there with Jerry Girard on Saturday. Nice weather, beautiful area. Not as many vendors as I expected but it was an enjoyable time.

#4I agree, it is a great venue and I thought it was a wonderful show that offered much more than just vendors. An auspicious start to what I hope becomes an annual event.

#5The event was nice, well organized and well attended on Saturday. A shame Sunday's weather was poor.
I wish them good things for the future. It would be nice to see more classic tackle dealers gathered, but we still have to get out from beneath the shadow of Covid for everyone to feel safe I think. These are still questionable times.
Overall it was great to have such a gathering here in the Catskills!

#6I enjoyed it a lot, and especially since there have been no shows for 18 mos. I came away with a nice stick, a couple of neat reels, a couple of lines including a silk and a bunch of great hackle from Dave Brandt's estate. Also some needed (?) tying supplies. Weather was perfect and the presentations stellar. Enjoyed putting a few more faces to names, and especially glad to see some old pals.
