Largemouth Bass
For largemouth bass near Camden-on-Gauley, West Virginia, the Gauley River and its impoundments offer the best opportunities. While the Gauley is famous for its whitewater rafting, the slower sections and reservoirs along its course hold a decent population of largemouth. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as the bass are more active in cooler water. During the summer months, focus on fishing early in the morning or late in the evening. A practical tip for accessing the river is to use the public access points designated for rafting, but be mindful of the rafters and avoid fishing directly in their path. Also, be aware that water levels on the Gauley can fluctuate due to dam releases, so check the schedule before you go. The bass here tend to be structure-oriented, so target submerged trees, rocks, and weed beds. Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and plastic worms are all effective lures. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and retrieves to find what the fish are hitting on any given day.
