THE PLT LANDED AT THE MONTAGUE ARPT FOR FUEL, BUT FUEL WAS NOT AVAILABLE, SO HE PROCEEDED TO ROHRER FIELD WHERE 18 GAL WAS ONLOADED. DURING TAKEOFF WITH A DENSITY ALT OF APRX 4200 FT, HE LIFTED OFF AFTER USING APRX 2/3 OF THE 3360 FT RWY. HE REPORTED THAT AT THAT TIME, HE SAW HIGH POWER LINES BEYOND THE END OF THE RWY. FULL FLAPS (40 DEGS) WERE EXTENDED TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL LIFT. HOWEVER, WHEN THE PLT SAW THAT HE WOULD NOT CLEAR OVER THE 120 FT POWER LINES, HE ELECTED TO FLY UNDER THEM. HE THEN SAW A LOWER TRANSMISSION LINE & STARTED A SHALLOW LEFT TURN. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT SETTLED TO THE GROUND & COLLIDED WITH A FENCE BEFORE COMING TO REST. THE MAX LIFT OVER DRAG CONFIGURATION FOR THE CESSNA 170B IS 20 DEG OF FLAP EXTENSION.
