BJC- Boss Trout is probably in that cave, that's where I'd be casting.

Great pic Threerun!

Snorpus- I like your Blackwater Falls pic more than mine, so I won't duplicate. Every time I've been there, the water flow has varied. I have not found the location of you second pic. (not been there)

I like these guys, these were snapped just before my cellphone and I went swimming to retrieve my fishing rod, in chest deep ice water:






Not the clearest pics, and I need more than a 10X zoom, using an old Sony Mavica FD-75, but I do like the Floppy disc media.

This was at a cabin beside Timberline, this fellow lived under the back deck, didn't budge when we were in the hot tub. He loved Twinkies, bread, anything. Sorry about the extreme close-up of the fingertip.

2-R,

The Falls pic was taken Memorial Day weekend in 2004, after 2 or 3 days of pretty heavy rain, which explains the good flow.

The other one (looking down canyon) was taken from Pendleton Point, which is a rocky overlook in the day-use picnic area, below the Falls parking lot and souvenir store.

These pictures were taken from onboard the Cheat Mountain Salamander, as it follows Shavers Fork from Cheat Bridge to the High Falls. Something tells me there might be a trout or three in that stream.







This one is from the Cass train.

help, some posted in a thread abut a train ride, where they leave you overnight. i want to do this and can not find that thread.

[snorpus]

Overnight caboose accomodations (at the far end of the line) are offered by both Cass and the Durbin Rocket.

At Cass, you can stay overnight in a caboose either atop Bald Knob or at Whittaker Camp. You can also stay overnight in the Wilderness Cabin.

The Rocket's Castaway Caboose (broken link) will take you 5 miles downriver from Durbin, along the Greenbrier River, until you're picked up the next day.

Durbin...Now that's Sasquatch country. And nice brown's grow fat in the feeder streams..
think I'll check out that caboose camping...sounds romantic somehow...at least a guy could fish if nothing was going on...
