West Virginia streams muddy stall fishing outlook
The Department of Natural Resources says streams in West Virginia remain above normal and muddy, forecasting poor fishing overall. Exceptions are Bluestone Reservoir and the Greenbrier River near Hinton, which are slightly above normal and clear with strong prospects for bass crappies and bluegill. Summersville Lake should offer fair fishing for catfish bass and bluegill, though Summersville tailwaters may suffer due to dam releases.
