Families Have Fun While Fly Fishing West Virginia Style

By Leigh Bean


The scenic beauty of the Appalachian mountains is perfect for family vacations and the fly fishing West Virginia residents enjoy year round can be shared by many. Families have great fun watching others try to perfect the casting techniques necessary to fly fish properly. Being agile and strong are good features to have when people are faced with casting flies into streams with strong currents.

At any moment, the confidence of many newbies can be shaken especially when they are faced with standing in a stream while holding a pole with an extended line that floats and sinks in the water. With rushing currents pressing down against the legs of the angler with great force, those present might not be sure if the waders worn so high on the leg will even stay on.

Large family groups can prepare for a fly fish adventure by signing up for training sessions. Advice will be shared by experienced tour guides and area locals. Groups are taught how to be prepared to spend a night in a strange environment should someone get lost while hiking trails and fishing streams. Temperatures in the Appalachians can drop to unexpected lows quickly.

Many resorts that are situated in the mountains give tourists lessons and guides will observe practice sessions in stream locations throughout the Appalachian Mountains. These resort locations give vacationers the opportunity to settle in and become familiar with surroundings. The friendly innkeepers are helpful and provide visitors with advice on where the best angling spots.

Fishermen will want to consider which types of flies will need to be brought on these angling trips. Since there are many styles used for casting, and then fishing with flies and pole, it will be necessary for trips to be planned in great detail. Planning is necessary so that the fisherman knows which fly to use in a specific river location.

That type of information could be relayed by fishing regulars in the area but it is not guaranteed that any local will be willing to share that information. Many tourists enjoy experimenting with various styles on their own and families can use the trails freely to explore the beautiful woods on their own.

A vacationing party will have more success finding fish is they are part of a tour group. The tour guides are very knowledgeable about the condition of every river and whether any flooding has occurred in a spot that travelers want to go to on any given day. Updates on river conditions are passed on each day by other guides as they return from overnight trips.

To find the best spots while fly fishing West Virginia visitors rely on the information amassed by tour guides that live in the mountains year round. Successful anglers know that guides have a connection with all local residents that will keep them informed about any changes that have occurred to the path of a river.
