Fly Fishing Seneca Creek West Virginia
Seneca Creek is named after the large bluff of white sandstone at Seneca Rock nearby. It is managed as a wild trout stream and has a good population of native brook trout and wild rainbow trout.
The stream is a freestone stream about nine and one-half miles long, that flows into the North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River.
To fish the better parts of this stream requires hiking into the back country. The best way is to hike in and camp. That provides much more time for one to explore the creek. The native brook trout are what are referred to as the Northern strain of brook trout. Most of them are about five to seven inches long. The wild rainbow trout don’t average much larger but they can get up to well over twelve inches.
Seneca Creek, its headwaters and side tributaries that feed it, are in a wilderness type area. The gorge section of the stream drops approximately 1,400 feet in elevation. The Seneca Creek Trail provides access to most of the stream.
Seneca Creek Fly Fishing Guide:
Fly fishing Seneca Creek is pure small stream fishing. Seneca Creek and its tributaries have excellent water quality mainly because of the lack of disturbance within the watershed. The lower section of the stream has several small water falls and deep pools with riffles. The upper portion is much flatter with riffles and shallow pools. It is strictly small stream fishing where ever you choose to fish. The headwaters are fed by numerous small tributary streams and springs. The water quality is excellent.
Like most other trout streams, Seneca Creek is fished much more where it is easy to access the stream than it is in the remote areas. The problem is in this case there is only a small amount of water that can be fished without taking at least a short hike. The limited amount of water that is closest to the roads is fished very heavily. Even if you will hike upstream a mile you will find the fishing much better than it is in the easiest to access parts. Those willing to walk two or three miles will usually find plenty of water that no one else has fished.
The lower sections of the creek consist mostly of small water falls and deep pools. The upper section contains more shallow riffles and shallow pools. You want to always fish the creek in an upstream direction. That keeps the trout looking the opposite way you are coming and helps you get a lot closer to the fish.
Short, upstream cast that are accurate are much more productive than long cast that will allow much of your fly line to get caught in currents of different velocities and directions. Concentrate on the ends of the runs and edges of any current seams. A good tip is to place your dry fly where you see the bubbles. They are usually drifting in
the same area the food is drifting coming downstream.
The brook trout tend to stay in the moderately flowing currents rather than the fast water. The rainbow most often prefer the fast water. When you approach the tail end of a pool, make sure you fish the tailout where the water runs out of the pool into a run or riffles. Then proceed up the edges of the pool.
If it is relatively shallow, you may want to fish the entire pool. Most of the time this is where you will pick up the brook trout. They will also take your fly at the tail end of the runs or riffles draining into the pools, so be sure to fish that also.
The rainbows are usually found in the faster water of the riffles and runs. Make sure you fish all the likely holds along the seams and edges of the runs and riffles. Often the rainbows will lie just on the outside of the fast current. They will also lie behind larger rocks on the bottom so don’t ignore the inside areas of the runs or riffles.
Seneca Creek Hatches and Trout Flies:
Our information on aquatic insects is based on our stream samples of larvae and nymphs, not guess work. We base fly suggestions on imitating the most plentiful and most available insects and other foods at the particular time you are fishing. Unlike the generic fly shop trout flies, we have specific imitations of all the insects in Seneca Creek and in all stages of life that is applicable to fishing. If you want to fish better, more realistic trout flies, have a much higher degree of success, give us a call. We not only will help you with selections, you will learn why, after trying Perfect Flies, 92% of the thousands of our customers will use nothing else. 1-800-594-4726.
Many anglers make the mistake of thinking the trout in the small freestone streams only feed opportunistically. While this is true most of the time, it is also true that the trout will always concentrate on the most abundant aquatic insects. Most of the time you can catch trout on attractor and generic flies, both nymphs and dry flies, but you will find that you will get a higher percentage of strikes if you use a specific imitation of an insect that is readily available and plentiful.
Hatches are important because it brings many of the otherwise hidden aquatic insects out to where they are exposed to the trout. An aquatic insect cannot hatch until it risk rising to the surface or crawling out on the bank. When something is hatching, or about to hatch, try using an imitation of it. You will find the results much better than just using any attractor fly that may represent a wide variety of insects.
This stream doesn’t seem to have a large population of any one species of aquatic insect. However, It does have a wide variety of them. Among the most important ones are the stoneflies. There are several families of stoneflies present.
One of the most plentiful ones are the Little Yellow Stoneflies, called Yellow Sallies by most anglers. They hatch from about the middle of May through June and again in September and October.
During February to April, you will find some Little Brown and Black Stoneflies hatching. They are actually in the same family.
There are also a decent population of Golden Stoneflies that hatch about the first of June for a couple of weeks. There are even some Giant Black stoneflies that hatch near the middle of May.
There are several species of Caddisflies that hatch but none of them in large quantities. The most plentiful are the Cinnamon Sedges that hatch from May and into July. These are more plentiful near any of the small springs that provide some of the water
There are a few Green Sedges that hatch in late May and early June. The Great Autumn Brown Sedge hatches in late September and October.
Don’t forget the terrestrial insects. We think the most important ones are the beetles and the ants. There is plenty of moth larvae, called inch worms by most anglers. There are some grasshopper along the stream. Imitations of these may come in handy during the summer months.
Some anglers carry a selection of small streamers. Sculpin are present in the stream. Just make sure the streamers are not too large for the size of the trout. They work best during the early mornings and late afternoon or after a rain that adds some color to the water.
We hope you give our “Perfect Flies” a try if you haven’t done so already. They have proven to be effective in these small Eastern mountain freestone stream on the wild rainbows and brook trout. Both the nymph and adult stonefly imitations of the varies species are very realistic and very effective. If you insist on using them, we also sell all the generic flies and attractor flies and at a price of less than half what most fly shops sell them for.
Hatches of Blue-winged Olives of several different species hatch from about the first of March until June. You will find some more hatching during the month of October and even the first of November. There is a Quill Gordon Hatch that usually starts about the middle of March to the first of April. It lakes about three weeks. About the same time you will find hatches of Blue Quills. They hatch for about six weeks.
There is also a Hendrickson hatch that takes place in certain areas around the middle of April . There will be a decent hatch of March Browns that occurs near the first of May. It will last about a month or longer. You may also find a few Sulphurs and Eastern Pale Evening Duns during late May and early June. These will be sparse hatches.
Light Cahills are fairly plentiful. They start hatching about the first of May. Slate Drakes are also present. These mayflies hatch very sparsely from about the second week of June through
September. In August and September, you will probably find a few Mahogany Duns hatching but they will be rather sparse
