Fishery |
Doe Run sub-impoundment provides a warmwater fishery for most species found in Tygart Lake, because the level of Tygart Lake rises above the Doe Run dam several times each year fish to move in and out. Largemouth and smallmouth bass, sunfish, crappie, yellow perch, channel catfish, and carp are the species most likely to be caught. Bow fishing for carp is particularly good during the late spring and summer months.
