Q:
I fish all the time near my hometown in West Virginia and I've had a lot of luck. But I'm ready to branch out and I've been searching for a new fishing ground. Are there any West Virginians out there with some recommendations?

Have you ever tried "Stock Ponds"?
Dar sum big bass in dar!!!
I love the shenandoah river!
Deffinately the Shenandoah.
Stonewall Jackson and Stonecoal Lakes, both south of Weston
Stonewall Jackson Lake and Stoecoal Lake, both south of Weston
Sorry, that's STONECOAL Lake.
He said West Virginians Clay, not Razorbacks!
New River smallmouth fishing is excellent. If you want to really have a wild fishing trip, fish the Gauley, and hold on tight.
in the fishing regulations look at grant and hardy county, many places to fish with good results, or zetts which is in inwood wv off rt5 near martiansburg.
IF YOU LOOK AT MY PIX THERE IS ONE OF ME AND A HUGE RAINBOW. IT WAS 27INCHES AND 7LBS. CAUGHT IN THE SOUTH FORK RIVER. THATS ALMOST THE ONLY PLACE I TROUT FISH. I COULD ALSO GET YOU A PLACE TO GO EEL FISHING UP THERE 2
What species are you interested in? The Smoke Holes/Seneca Rocks area, most anywhere on the Greenbriar, I hear the Dry Fork around Harman is good. You just need to go exploring.
I totally agree Shenandoah River is the place to be!!!!!!!!
Since I am a retired WV Conservation Officer I would like to think that I know some good places to fish. You didn't say what type fish you wanted to catch. I was stationed all my career(35 years) in the eastern panhandle so I am partial to the Smoke Holes, North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac, North Fork of Patterson Creek and New Creek Lake for trout. We also have some good bass fishing in the South Branch of the Potomac. Good Luck fishing.
Try some local ponds.
