The Greenbrier Valley is home to some of the richest outdoor recreation resources in the mid-Atlantic. In this guidebook, the author offers readers excellent advice on where, when, and how to catch more fish in the Greenbrier Valley. It is complete with a comprehensive map of the valley streams and notes on specific fishing locations.
While sparsely populated, the Greenbrier Valley is home to some of the richest outdoor recreation resources in the mid-Atlantic. Boasting a combination of unspoiled back country, featuring spectacular gorges and falls and major resorts, including both Snowshoe Mountain and the venerable Greenbrier Hotel, the area draws legions of campers, hikers, anglers, hunters, paddlers, horseback riders, and bird-watchers each year. In his new guide, ""Fishing the Greenbrier Valley,"" M. W. Smith extends his ongoing tour of the Commonwealth's greatest fishing spots to West Virginia, offering readers excellent advice on where, when, and how to catch more fish in the Greenbrier Valley. Though the Greenbrier Valley is well known for its excellent smallmouth bass and trout fishing, many anglers don't realize that white bass, catfish, and walleye also can be found there. Smith draws on a wealth of first-hand experience to convey how to find these fish, providing everything from driving directions, locations of put-in and take-out spots, float-fishing suggestions, and detailed descriptions of the different species of fish that can be found in the Greenbrier Valley. Complete with a comprehensive map of the valley streams and notes on specific fishing locations keyed to maps in DeLorme's ""West Virginia Atlas and Gazetteer,"" Smith's guidebook is both compact and informative. Whether you are new to the region or a longtime resident, novice fisher or pro, ""Fishing the Greenbrier Valley"" will prove an indispensable guide to every fishing adventure you undertake in the Greenbrier Valley.
