Mount Storm Lake

[CountryboyinDC]

I'm going to be with my family on a spring break get away to Davis, WV, and I see about the closest place to fish is Mount Storm Reservoir.  The one thread I found on here was about some miserable windy conditions on this lake that's at over 3k' elevation.  I was thinking of throwing the kayak on top of the car and maybe trying it out, but I really can't see me fishing 30 mph winds if that's the norm up that way.  If anyone fishes this lake regularly, I'd be glad to hear your thoughts on it.

Yes fish the lake quite a bit and impossible to get a accurate weather forecast because it sits on a high plateau, hence the name " mount STORM " but beautiful area nonetheless. 

Just down the road is another beautiful deep clear lake with Smallmouth.....Randolph Jennings. 

 

Davis WV is a place you won't want to leave, great little restaurants and a bunch of hillbillies, about like Mayberry. 

 

Again, the weather is ridiculously unpredictable.

Thanks @Bird.  I have been camping several times over at Swallow Falls, and have been to Deep Creek Lake a couple times.  I've never been to Randolph Jennings.  I will have to try that next time we do a camping trip up there.  I guess I'll just have to take the kayak, and worst case scenario, it just stays on the car.

If nothing else there’s a great little lily pad covered lake up in Blackwater Falls Park that I’ve fished a bit. Fun bass lake and should be great from a yak. We did our summer vacations in Davis when we lived in DC.

I'll definitely look into that.  Thanks so much!
