Species include channel catfish,flathead catfish, spotted bass, some largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie,sauger and a few walleye, white bass, hybrid stripers, and a few musky. Main cover for fish would be logjams. River gets muddy easily and access is limited. Good boat launch at the mouth in the town of Guyandotte and good canoe access upstream at Salt Rock and Branchland. There are more access areas below R D Bailey Dam but I'm not familiar with them. It is not the most scenic river you will find but the fishing can be great when water clarity is good.
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a location with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first location has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second location, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
