Fishing opportunities at the Four Fillies Lodge
On-Site Fishing
At Four Fillies Lodge, we offer three-quarters mile of private-access creek stocked with our own Rainbow Trout from our personal trout farm hatchery, the Trout Farm at Rock Springs. This provides our guests a fun West Virginia fishing opportunity for a fee while they are surrounded by beautiful nature. The clear icy waters of Rich Creek at Four Fillies Lodge hold secret places around rocks, ledges, bases of small natural dams, fallen trees, and other objects that break the flow of the wide creek. For our fly fishermen, we provide a long, wide section of the creek complete with riffles, runs, pools, flats, and pocket water for the ultimate technical creek fishing experience. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, our property offers a unique and rewarding West Virginia trout fishing experience. Enjoy the peaceful and picturesque surroundings of the Estate as you cast your line and reel in a beautiful trout.
