Nope, it was luck. That trout came way to far upstream to be in that area. It was a lucky catch. It measures past my 15” net
Cherry has its spots, jump to Cranberry River five miles down the road, it’s the best trout fishing in WV, hands down.
Thanks, I’m sure you have pics as well
I still fish below the dam, they drop trout below the headwaters
Thank you. Your comments made this particular catch better closer to heart with your explanation. Thanks
Thanks, interesting however. There should not be this big trout, or trout I thought in Muddlety Creek. I fished it 20 times for smallmouth in this location killing smallmouth though?
Nice Rainbow yesterday from kayak from Gauley River at beginning of Rt 39 , Summersville.
My fishing buddy and I caught a few on Cherry River today right before the catch and release at the Gauley Ranger Station in Richwood.
Hey man, today at Paint Creek exit, simple knee deep wading, 15 in about an hour, mostly smallmouth, but I’ve caught plenty trout in Paint Creek
Paint Creek, WV today brother
Simply gorgeous place to cast today. Been to the catch and release of Paint Creek at The Mahan exit, this place was new to me. I was blessed to find this spot. Dang, in less than thirty minutes, wading just knee deep mid stream, I quit counting and taking pics after a dozen, mostly smallmouth and a few rock bass using a green mister twister with a pink jig head. Probably around fifteen realistically.
FYI, awesome trout fishing along Paint Creek, caught a bunch in the spring, nice rainbow legit 13” two weeks ago.
Hell, I live in southern West Virginia, so I need to help explain none of the above.
Eat Shit Pitt btw
