| Greenbrier County - millatime
October 21 -
Casting small midge drys to rising fish becomes increasingly more common
to the dry fly angler, although trout can still be taken with
large stimulator flies and parachute tied mayfly imitations. The terrestrial
bite is slowing down, yet on a good warm day, the fish
may respond as if a terrestrial fly was its last meal. Take
extra precaution to wading in certain trout stream areas that
may be disturb spawning grounds for the fall-mating wild browns
and native brook trout. The smallmouth streams and rivers in our
area are really heating up, with rumors of 5-6 pound smallies
being caught and released. Please pick-up and pack-out all of
your trash and used fishing line and tippets, lets keep this state
looking like Almost Heaven.

Tygart River - Valley Head - Top Rod Feb 18 - Normal flows for this time of year. Water really has not fluctuated to much lately its pretty consistent. |

Slaty Fork of the Elk River - ERTC May 18 - The water temp is 56. The rising water temps & water levels have produced some excellent angling for Inn guests and guided fishing clients. A mixture of sun, clouds and light showers the last several days produced a buffet of bugs for hungry trout on the Elk, Cranberry & Williams rivers. Hatches seem to be focusing around sunnier periods of the day. The list consist of #14 sulphers both on the dry, parachute , emerger and nymphs, #16 & 18 bwo's and the parachute, #16 usual , # 16,#14 parachute adams, # 16 ,#14 march browns. Madam X in a size 16 has been successful at dusk. Trout from 8- 20 inches were released all week with water levels. |
Elk River C&R - elkfisher (Valley Fork Fly Fishing) May 1 - Well the action is definately picking up ! On Elk Springs the Grannom Caddis is carrying things with "flocks" of caddis sweeping up river . Best way to fish the hatch is a soft hackle Grannom fished down and away and allowed to swing up at the end of the drift . On Slaty the Blue Quills are the most prolific at the moment and once again subsurface is paying off best . Be advised though that you had better have both Blue Quill and Quill Gordon spinners in the evenings . A couple of the Gordon falls have been spectacular on both stretches .....Look for the March Browns to arrive in force within the week ... See you on the river ! |

Middle Wheeling Creek DH - woolybugger March 10 - The water was pretty low and clear. Fish were a little spooky. Not sure active there but a slow presentation found some. |
