Rndavis1987 Loc: Clarksburg, wv
 
Hello! My name is Roger, I live in Clarksburg, WV. I am new to this site and noticed that I can not find a whole lot (some) of information on fishing in WV, or any specific lakes, rivers, ponds, etc.! So i decided to create this topic and, hopefully, get some good information, feedback, tips, tricks, maybe some info on honey holes, or even some places I or anybody else on here haven't gotten to, or don't know about. I hope that it will carry on the tradition of true WV heritage of always helping anyone, whether it be your family, a neighbor, or a complete stranger, we are ALWAYS willing to lend a helping hand! I have lived here my whole life and grew up fishing all over the state! I love trout fishing, largemouth, smallmouth, walleye, musky, and of course catfish! If they are biting, I like to catch em! I'd also like to know if there are any good ponds left to fish? Growing up they were EVERYWHERE! Some of my best memories were at those little "secret" ponds! Now, all those are gone or nobody is allowed there! So, I'd like to find some to take my 3 kids to! Also, any up to date or personal knowledge of the Tygart River, Tygart lake, Stonewall Jackson lake, Stonecoal lake, Dog Run lake, or any others in the general area are particularly in my interest, since I am at one of them almost every day!! So good luck to all, Let's help each other out, and let's ALL HAVE FUN!!

Hello from a West Virginia fisherman, happy to have you here on the site.. I fish most of WV. The big and not so big impoundments are great to fish on. The streams and rivers are fun if you don't mind getting wet. Summersville is very good at the up stream parts where there is not so much boating. Woodrum is a 10 hp lake, full of bass and the occasional muskie. At Hinton, small mouth at the Sandstone Falls area, and the Gauley Bridge confluence of the New and Gauley, are my favorites. Keep in touch. Good luck
