Exploring those VA/WV streams was like hiking along the banks of the Flat Brook or Pequest. What surprised me was the depth and frequency of the pools. There were riffle stream sections that were 6"-12" inches deep, and a few dozen feet away there were pools over your head. I encountered this pattern repeatedly down there. Also the Cranberry River contains boulders the size of small houses.

In my second post, the last fish was a wild brown trout (as was the one in my hand, obviously). The other ones were stocked fish, either recent or from the spring.
