Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing near Thomas, West Virginia, provides a distinctly different experience than southern fisheries. The focus here is on smaller, more intimate waters. While you won't find sprawling lakes, you will find smaller reservoirs and rivers like the Blackwater River that hold surprisingly good populations of largemouth. The best time to target largemouth in this region is late spring through early fall. The bass tend to be opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are effective. Fish the edges of weed beds, submerged timber, and rocky outcroppings. Be prepared for clear water conditions, which can make the bass a bit more wary. Stealth is key! Public access to the Blackwater River is available at several points along Route 32. Also, explore some of the smaller impoundments in the Monongahela National Forest; they can hold some real hidden gems. Remember that stream fishing often involves wading, so appropriate footwear is essential.
