Knapps Creek Trout Lodge

Knapps Creek Trout Lodge sits in Marlinton, West Virginia, in Pocahontas County, and pairs lodging with a wading guide service on the water at its door. The rate sheet lists a three hour half day at 185 dollars, a seven hour full day at 375 dollars, and a four hour beginner lesson package at 250 dollars that includes the loan of rod, reel and waders. Trips are fished on Knapps Creek through Marlinton and on the Greenbrier River, reached either at the Marlinton access or upstream at Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. Lunch on the longer days comes from a cafe in town. Anglers can bring their own tackle or rent single pieces for 25 dollars or a full package for 45 dollars, and the lodge works with guides licensed in West Virginia. Headwater exploring on the Cranberry River is also mentioned, and the lodge says beginners are as welcome as veteran trout anglers.
