I like East Lynn in the spring and late fall. I've caught some great bass there in spring and fall. But we no longer use it in any of the WV Bass Federation tourneys. In the summer months, it's more of a night fishing lake for bass, in my opinion.

I left WV in 2013, and I don't know how much has changed, but I liked East Lynn. I never caught any big fish, but there were plenty of small, keeper-sized fish to keep me entertained.

I live right beside Stonewall Jackson. I'm hoping to get on the water tomorrow evening or Sunday morning. Went last Saturday for a few hours and caught quite a few. My 6yr old son caught an 11 1/2" largemouth. His biggest so far.

I've probably give East Lynn a whirl some time later this summer then. Probably after I get a kayak. 

 

Last time I went was about 10 years ago. I didn't catch crap, there were floating patches of garbage in alot of the coves, and I'm fairly certain that there are people living on Twelvepole that straight-pipe sewage into the creek. Gave me kind of a negative stereotype of the area. 

 

What about the southern end of the Guyandotte? Could it be productive outside of trout season? I know around where it empties into the Ohio is allegedly good for muskie, but that's a bit above my paygrade at this point. 

They are all garbage, I would suggest to go around an hour away for better fishing.

WV doesn't really have any big Lakes but Stonewall has a lot of shoreline.

I fish it and Randolph Jennings mostly.

I would say that Stonewall is probably the best lake in the state, but the majority of anglers now know this and because of the high numbers of anglers in this state it causes it to be super pressured.
