I will be staying at the USFW training center for the second week of October. Id really like to be able to catch fish while i am down there. I will most likely be shore bound. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I am more than willing to compensate anyone who is kind enough to allow me to join them on there boat for a few hours while i am down there.

Lots of good smallies around there. That time of the year it should be going strong. If you have we license you can fish either side. Sometimes it's a matter of walking a pretty fair distance to find the right water. There are several sets of bridges that hold fish.

 

I have a prop boat so it's a no go up there for me.

plan on river fishing....

The campus is right along the Potomac River and although I've never been there, I would HOPE they would at least have a trail or two that goes down to the river. You can bank fish or possibly wade depending on the water depth.

 

A 5-minute car ride upriver from the campus is Dam #4 and there is accessible wading on the WV side.

 

P.S. It's spelled "Shepherdstown". 

theres muskie in that section of the river too

Can you get snakeheads that far up the Potomac?

Nope, no snakeheads yet up by Shepherdstown, WV.
