This unit — the ground this page is about
Other public land — state, federal and county ground around it
USGS gauge — a gauge, coloured by what it reads now
Water temperature — the colour of every stream on this ground

50°F and colder is cold, through cold-transitional and cool, to warm above 70°F — the same four bands the app paints. The colour is nothing at all: WV DEP publishes no thermal classification, so every stream on this map draws grey. The gauge dots are the one exception and they read live. Grey is every stream here, for the reason above.

The unit in numbers

Assembled from the state huntable public-land layer and PAD-US ownership records, dissolved into one block: the section lines a state forest is surveyed in are not a fact about access, so they are not drawn and not counted twice.

Getting on it

PAD-US carries no access class for this unit. It is in the state's huntable layer, which is why it is here; what else you may do on it is the managing agency's to say.

This unit is 14 separate blocks of ground rather than one, which is normal for public land held in surveyed sections: the blocks are not contiguous. The map above draws every one of them, and the ground between two of them belongs to somebody else.

Trout streams on this ground

Every named stream whose reaches touch this unit, longest first. 41 of them have a page of their own and are linked; the rest are in the app. The class column is WV DEP's designation of that stream, over the reaches it has classified. "Now" is the live USGS reading where a gauge stands in that stream.

The miles are the whole stream's, not the miles inside this boundary: a river does not stop at a property line and neither does its page.

Hunting

This ground is in West Virginia's huntable public-land layer as national forest wildlife management area, managed by WV Division of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Section and US Forest Service — 100% of the unit is covered by it. This app does not carry West Virginia's season dates yet, so there are none printed below — WVDNR publishes them, and that digest is what to check before you go. That the ground is huntable and that a season is open on it are two different facts, and only the first one is on this page.

Access sites and amenities

No public access site we have on record stands on this unit. We hold no trail or campground data at all, so what is here is what the state publishes as launches and walk-in access, and none of it falls on this ground.

When to come

The hatch calendar for the Virginia mountains, which is the region this unit's centre falls in — the same regions the app's hatch panel uses. It is a regional record, not a survey of this ground: nobody has counted insects unit by unit. Year-round records (midges, scuds, sculpins) are left out.

Regulations

Nothing on this page is a regulation. The fishing rules that apply to the water on this ground — the types, the seasons, the size limits and the gear restrictions — are on the West Virginia fishing regulations page, built from the agency's own columns.

Watersheds it lies in

The subbasins this ground drains into. Each one has the whole basin's water on it.
