The Greenbrier River in West Virginia is one of the longest undammed rivers in the Central Appalachians, flowing from the joining of the East and West forks at Durbin downstream to its confluence with the New River at Hinton. This scenic waterway offers excellent fishing opportunities in a pristine setting with diverse aquatic habitats ranging from cool, low-gradient headwater streams to warm, moderate-gradient large river sections. Water levels are driven entirely by rainfall and cave drainage, making the river typically ready for fishing by mid-April with dependable flows until mid-July or early August under normal conditions. Late summer storms and fall hurricanes can extend the fishing season. The Greenbrier's clear waters, varied wildlife sightings, and picturesque surroundings provide anglers with a tranquil, rewarding experience in a landscape characterized by limestone karst features and forested ridges.
