Winter Trout

The New Year has arrived and it is time to think about winter trout fishing.  Last year was pretty much a bust; with several feet of snow in the highlands and impassable roads.  We can only hope that we can enjoy angling on our mountain streams, before the warm weather crowds arrive.

Make sure, when you are planning a trip to our region to check out the updated stockings and select stream conditions on the Stream Report page of High Virginia Outdoors.

Water conditions will be reported as I go about my daily travels in the Allegheny Highlands. If you haven't done so already; it is now time to go out and buy some new line. Don't let that one chance per year brown trout snap you off early in the season, because of equipment failure. It will haunt you for the rest of the year.
