March 2007 Fishing Trip in Pendleton County


This was a really cool fishing trip that Austin & his Dad, John, Joe Yancy, and I went on. We stayed in a cabin that was right on the bank of the North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River in Pendleton County. We fished the North Fork, the Smoke Hole, and several other streams, tributaries, and lakes on this trip. We lucked out on the weather that week and many trout were caught, John eating several of them. We also got to see and do many interesting things like hiking to the top of Seneca Rocks and mountain biking Dolly Sods. The planets really lined up for us on this trip. In addition to the great weather the rivers were just right, being too high and swift to fish the week before we arrived and week after we left, trout had been stocked the week before we got there, as well as, the week we were there, and to top it all off the Mountaineers won the NIT national championship that week, which we were fortunate enough to be able to watch in the evening when the fishing was done.
