Muskie Fishing

Muskie fishing is well-known along a 5-6 mile stretch of the Buckhannon River. Predominately a catch and release section, this waterway attracts fishermen from the Eastern United States and Canada for the quality Muskie Fishing.

Click HERE for a great article about Muskie Fishing on the Buckhannon River.

The catch and release section runs from the City of Buckhannon’s water-supply dam, upstream to the first riffle. The entire stream section is commonly referred to as the Buckhannon Pool. The maximum depth of the water at normal pool level is 13 feet and the entire pool area is 70 acres. In addition to Muskie, fishers will find largemouth and smallmouth bass.

Half the fun is the drive out to Gaines Diner! Travel on Route 20 South, and then veer left to stay on Route 20. Drive a few miles, then turn left onto Gaines Road by the Arlington Mini Mart. Follow Gaines Road for about 3-4 miles…. You might think you missed it, but just when you might give up, you’ll see the Gaines Diner on the left, with a white fence around it!
