Our destination is spectacular Seneca Creek in West Virginia with guest, David Thorne, head Coldwater Fisheries Biologist and stream Habitat Coordinator for the State.  You may not think of West Virginia as a trout fishing mecca, but this state is loaded – over 5,000 miles of trout streams – and Seneca Creek may just be the crown jewel.   Listed on the Trout Unlimited 100 Best Trout Streams, Seneca Creek offers a remote and intimate experience of mostly wild trout, magnificent hatches, beautiful scenery, and cold spring water all summer long.  It’s time to put West Virginia on your bucket list! 

Bonus:  top streams in the state plus the fly patterns and tactics you need to know.   

With host, Steve Haigh
