Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: fly fishing near Morganstown WV

There's a fly shop on the Savage by the cabins, or was when I was there last-dunno if it's still around. Second the cleats and wading staff. The North Branch can be waded in the little nubbin upstream from Barnum but you'll need to be extremely careful-it's less slippery than the Savage but deeper and faster. There's also the Yough.

Savage is the most slippery river I have ever fished. Big cleats and a wading staff are a must. Don't neglect the head waters of these reservoirs for brookies.

Hi Dana.  90 minutes from Morgantown is some of the best trout water in Maryland, and possibly the mid-Atlantic.  The Savage River, Casselman River and North Branch of the Potomac River are all clustered around Western MD and offer some great opportunities for trout and smallmouth.  Here is a link to my blog post covering the Savage and North Branch of the Potomac.  Enjoy!  Gregg Rockett

Forgot to mention - having a hard time finding a fly shop in that area but can definitely call them if anybody knows a fly shop in or near Morganstown. Thank you.

Hi, team,

Looking for next weekend recommendations within an hour or hour and a half, the closer the better as "this is not a fly fishing trip" per my husband - close to Morganstown, WV, where we lined up a home exchange. 

Appreciate any advice on bodies of water or towns or access for fly fishing. Trout preferred but if close will consider wadeable smallmouth fishing - no boat access though we will be staying on Cheat Lake. 

Thank you for any suggestions - also willing to go to western MD but totally unfamiliar with that area as well as we are new in the mid-Atlantic. 

Dana
