Stonewall Jackson Lake, WV

Reservoir in Lewis County, West Virginia. A roughly 2,650-acre reservoir on the West Fork River in Lewis County near Weston, anchoring Stonewall Resort State Park. It is regarded as one of West Virginia's top waters for trophy muskellunge (40-inch-plus fish) and is also a standout largemouth bass lake, with crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, walleye, and spotted bass. Largely undeveloped, forested shoreline and abundant standing timber make it a quality structure fishery. The tailwater below the dam holds stocked trout.
