Summersville Lake Tailwater Trout Stocking

  In cooperation with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, the West Virginia Professional Outfitters Association (WVPRO) stocked 2,000 pounds of trout in the Summersville Dam Tailwater of the Gauley River on June 7. The goal of the stocking is to enhance trout fishing opportunities in the Gauley River.

 

  Each year WVPRO pays for these trout stockings to compensate for additional days allowed for whitewater rafting flows on the Gauley River . These higher flows result in decreased fishability for anglers. For 16 years, WVPRO has stocked trout in the Gauley River during the fall to enhance fishing opportunities following increased flow releases from Summersville Dam.
