Here is a fishing story most of you will find hard to believe. But as you read on you will find the source is undisputable, and the story surely proves that not all of "them" get away.
On a recent rainy June 2009 day Vince Christofora Sr. was fishing from his boat on the upper basin of the Ashokan Reservoir. With a full compliment of gear purchased from the new tackle shop located inside Woodstock Hardware, he was hoping to catch the big one. Not soon after lowering his bait into the water, he got a big bite.
After a rather short battle, the fish took the bait and Vince Sr. could see the line beginning to go beneath the boat. Thinking he was about to lose the fish he began to maneuver in the boat, when to his surprise, the fish leaped out of the water - right into the boat! No fooling. A five pound trout had landed right inside Vince Sr.'s boat.
A funny story, and a happy one for the fish as well. After "landing" the fish, Vince Sr. carefully remove the hook and released the fish back into the reservoir. After all, that fish has more to learn!
Now that is the way to fish.
So the next time you need fishing supplies or find your self with a unique fishing story, stop in Woodstock Hardware and let us give you a hand and help spread your story!

Maverick Concerts is America’s oldest continuous summer chamber music festival and thrives on the love of great music and the spirit of its unique site in the unspoiled woods. This music festival began in 1916 in the hand-built rustic 1916 concert hall in the midst of the pristine Catskill woodlands. The Maverick Hall and grounds are located 4 miles from the center of Woodstock and with its perfect acoustics is ideally suited to chamber music and the intimacy of live performance.
There
are Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon concerts from June
until September. A listing of the current schedule of classical
,Jazz and Saturday morning Young People's concerts is found on MaverickConcerts.org.
Maverick Concerts continues the vision of poet and writer Hervey White, who founded the collaborative artists colony over a hundred years ago. Colony residents artists and other volunteers in the colony built the hand-hewn “music chapel” in 1916 and the Hall is now a multi-starred attraction on the National Register of Historic Places and home to great live music in the woods each season.
