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.

The Opera House is a full-service catering facility & entertainment venue housed in 3 Historic structures, located in the Heart of Historic downtown Buckhannon. In the 1930’s these three separate buildings were connected and opened-up on the 1st floor to accommodate the G.C. Murphy Company 5 & 10 store, which operated here through the 1980’s, before giving in to the big box retailers. We have Transformed the space into a Beautiful Event Center with 100-year old hardwood floors, Coffered Ceilings, Exposed Brick, Colorful Lighting & Stylish Decor.
