West Virginia Gold Rush
April 1 - April 12
During this two-week period, West Virginia Department of Natural Resources will stock 68 lakes and streams with the Mountain State’s very own golden rainbow trout. This fish is prized by anglers for its unmistakable, bright-yellow color. 50,000 golden trout will be entering our lakes and streams, and this year, 500 fish will be tagged. Catch a tagged trout and submit the information to receive a special prize from WV DNR.
