#2 – From WV TOURISM – From ponds to creeks to rivers, West Virginia is an angler’s dream. While West Virginia is home to all types of fishing, fly fishing in fall in West Virginia is especially popular.

The Mountain State is home to a wide array of trout species, including rainbow, golden, and brook, attracting anglers from near and far. Visit some of Almost Heaven’s 20,000+ miles of streams and 100+ fishing lakes to experience fall fishing like you’ve never experienced.

For trophy trout, visit Harman’s Luxury Log Cabins when stocking happens in early September, and at the beginning and middle of October and November.
