West Virginia Smallmouth Bass Fishing
The New River Gorge National River offers 53 miles of world-class smallmouth bass river fishing. The New River has long been rated as one of the top ten smallmouth bass rivers in the country. Twelve miles of the New River have been designated as catch and release smallmouth bass fishing. Once started down the river you can tell instantly that you’ve come to a very unique place. The New River has an unusual northerly flow and is estimated to be one of the oldest rivers in North America. Large sandstone boulders, deep pools, swift runs and steep canyon walls up to 1,000’ are what you’ll find here. The abundance of New River smallmouth bass is due in part to the inaccessibility of the New River Gorge and the success of catch and release fishing. Our professional guides, quality equipment and extensive knowledge of the New River will ensure a safe and memorable trip.
