Brushy Fork Lake is located three miles south Sugar Grove area of WV. It is adjacent a paved state maintained road. There are no gates, picnic tables, or rest room faculties. Totally primitive. It lies in the Dry River District of the George Washington National Forest. It is on the South Branch of the South Fork of the Potomac River. They mow about twice during the summer months. Depart from the paths, at your own risk. The DNR stock trout under their BW code, which means once in February and every other week in May - March. There should still be a few left by Free Fishing Days on June 7th and 8th.
Please check with our Division of Natural Resources, before planing any trips to this area. Especially if you are for out of state. There are a number of Game Wardens residing in the area and they do regular patrols. Do carry all your documentation with you. It can be a long hike back to the parking area. I carry mine in a zip lock baggie and placed again inside a plastic bag. I look like a bag lady when I'm carry my personals to the electric motor boat. Especially beside my fishing buddy, that has everything neatly organized in a water proof tote. We look like the King and Pauper traveling with out survival gear.
It was sunny today for the first time in a week... the water hadn't warmed enough for any really good fishing. Most of what were caught were too little to keep... much less clean, but it was a ice quite, peaceful trip around the lake. Oh we weren't the only fishers not having any luck. Mr Bald Eagle was looking for a meal too. He never moved from his perch the whole time we were there. Patiently waiting for that one fish that swims too close to the surface. Don't ya just have to love WV? Living amongst the eagles ... it must be almost heaven,
