Largemouth Bass
Oak Hill, West Virginia, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, especially if you know where to look. While not a trophy bass destination, the New River and its tributaries, plus smaller impoundments like Plum Orchard Lake, provide consistent action. Spring is prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn in the warmer backwaters and coves. Focus on areas with submerged timber or rocky structure. Fall can also be productive as the fish feed up before winter. For bank access, Plum Orchard Lake has several established fishing areas. A local tip: the upper reaches of the New River, accessible via several county roads, hold some overlooked bass. Be prepared for rocky wading and current, but the seclusion can pay off. The bass here tend to be scrappy fighters, adapting to the river's current. Don't be afraid to downsize your lures and target eddies and slack water.
