Video: Scenes from the 2015 Orvis Guide Rendezvous in Asheville, North Carolina

Guides and anglers from all over the country converged on Asheville, North Carolina for the past two days to take part in the 2015 Orvis Guide Rendezvous and Down the Hatch festival. As you can see from the video above, #somestreamerchick had a pretty good time, as did the other attendees. Here are some images from the event, which was a big hit.

Here’s a video shot by Cameron Mortenson of The Fiberglass Manifesto, showing a prototype 3-weight Superfine Glass rod being put through the stress test.

We’ll have a longer report and more photos when the gang gets back next week. And we’ll be back in Missoula, Montana on April 23-25 for the Western OGR and DTH. Don’t miss it!
