Gauley River (Below Summersville Dam)
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The tailwater section of the Gauley River below Summersville Dam is West Virginia's premier tailwater trout fishery, with cold, consistent water temperatures supporting year-round trout fishing. The river holds a mix of stocked and wild rainbow and brown trout in the clear, cold releases from Summersville Lake, with excellent midge and blue-winged olive hatches in winter and spring. This section is managed as a special regulation area and is considered one of the top fly fishing destinations in the mid-Atlantic region.
