Elk River fishing regulations

WV DEP classifies water on the Elk River as Trout waters — part of an assessment unit and Trout waters — whole assessment unit, managed as Trout waters — part of an assessment unit and Trout waters — whole assessment unit. This is a designation of the fishery, not the season and creel rules. The posted signs and the current digest are the authority, not this page.
