But, if Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon are available -- maybe we could have a fish fry. You bring the fish, or just goodwill, and we'll provide all the rest. I'm just off US 50, about 2 miles from Capon Bridge, and about 20 minutes from Moorefield/Petersburg.

Thanks! That's kind of you and it would have been nice to meet a fellow pondmeister. Unfortunately, I'm leaving right after we get off the river tomorrow late in the afternoon. I've got a 4-1/2 hour drive back to PA.

I'm a couple of hours away and don't know the area as well as some closer to home, but there's always water there. Have a great time!

In all the years I've been coming here I've never fished the Trough. I hear it's beautiful. Pray for rain if you'll be fishing the river any time soon - it is really low. We spent a lot of time on this trip dragging our boats through skinny water. I'd be glad to offer any advice but keep in mind that the number of years I've been fishing in the area does not necessarily translate into a wealth of knowledge!
