I am leaving this weekend for about a two month job in Pendleton County West Virginia, a little Northwest of Harrisonberg Va, in the George Washington National Park. I sure want to take my boat (Procraft 1660 with a 110 Evinrude). Are there any good lakes in this area, say within a 2 hour drive? I was concerned whether or not gas powered motors were allowed on many of the lakes. How is the fishing in the area? (Crappie and catfish are my favorites to fish for). Really though, anything that bend a rod!

The only place I fished near where you are going is Tygart Lake. A beautiful place with many species of fish.

Have fun, I love WV.

There's Tygart, Stonewall Jackson, Stonecoal, Burnsville, for starters.

Re: Boating and Fishing West Virginia

Ok, I have been in West Virginia for over two months now. I have had really good look catching rainbows in the South Fork River near Franklin. Haven't had much luck on the lakes so far. I fished Lake Mount Storm and Jennings Randolf on the WV/Maryland border. Caught only small catfish on Mt. Storm and only a few small walleyes on Jennings Randolf,(a beautiful lake by the way)!
I have a four day week end starting tomorrow and I am still debating on Lake Tygart or Stonewall Jackson. About the same distance from here. Heck, I may just hit em both! Decisions,decisions!!

I say hit 'em both! I have'nt made it to Tygart yet. A buddy of mine has fished it a few times. We're supposed to go soon. I think I will hit stonewall Saturday. Have fun! Be Careful.

Whenever there is a case of boating and fishing, I think instruments also matters. The brass Clock Chart Weight is an excellent personal keepsake or corporate gift when customized by imprinting or engraving. It is a handsome addition to any desk or chart table.
