My wife and I did a 3 day backpacking trip in the Monongahela National Forrest over the weekend. We did the Spruce Knob/Seneca Creek loop, about 16.5 miles. We turned it into a 3 day trip since we started late Saturday. It was a really nice hike with plenty of great campsites. We camped by Seneca Creek the second night, and I got in a couple hours fishing between Sunday evening and Monday morning. Water levels were perfect. The creek is excellent small stream fishing. I would definitely go back for more fishing and hiking. Saw 4 people in 3 days.

How cool! Very jealous. I was out there for only one day in mid-october and we had great fishing as well! It's a very fun fishery. Stealth is rewarded with nice sized fish with beautiful Fall colors. When I was up there the brook trout were still paired up in some holes. Did you notice the same? Thanks for report. Very worth the drive from DC.

Few people and great, wild fishing is what I like more than anything else. Great report.
