Get your family hooked on fishing by taking them to a West Virginia state park or forest. Our lakes and streams are stocked with trout, bass, bluegill and other sport fish.

State parks and forests are some of the best places for new anglers to catch a fish, and many of our top spots are easily accessible for people of all skill sets.

But before you head out on your trip, make sure you have a current license and stamps. If you don’t have one, purchase one today at www.wvfish.com.
