Welcome to Pocahontas Fish & Game Adventures
Welcome to our website and, perhaps, to our place sometime in the future. Author John Gierach called one of his fly fishing books Another Lousy Day in Paradise and that same paradise is what we think we have to offer.
About a decade ago, three fishing buddies bought a swampy half-mile cow pasture bottom with potential. It was mostly infested with Multiflora rose bushes but had a trout stream running through it that one of the buddies used to sneak into as a kid to fish. Since the purchase, we have reclaimed the land, installed nearly thirty stream habitat improvement structures, and developed four trout ponds and additional wetland. We also moved and restored a beautiful Appalachian settler's log cabin.
Now, we are making our little piece of paradise available on a limited basis to other fly fishermen/women who appreciate the privacy and seclusion of what we have here in the "birthplace of rivers" of Pocahontas County, West Virginia.
2007-08 Season Update:
We have now completed our eighth year of hosting guests
at our creek and cabin. We thank all of our past guests
and look forward to your next visit. Also, thanks to
Angler’sXstream Orvis Fly Shop of Parkersburg, WV for
their referrals. They again are planning fly fishing
schools at our place on April 26-27 and May 17-18. Check
out their website for details at:

Our other news for the year is we have built a bridge at
the upstream crossing and hope to build a second bridge
at the lower crossing this summer, so you will no longer
need to ford the stream as you had in the past.
Again, thanks to all our guests and make your 2008
reservations as early as possible.
