Alleghany County has
much to offer the traveling angler.
Once the Sparta Mill Pond and Dam meant good fishing
and companionship. Heavy rains during the summer of 1969 destroyed the
dam. |
We boast over 80 miles of hatchery supported trout
streams with over 24,000 fish stocked this season. A brief list includes:
-
Little River
-
Crab Creek
-
Brush Creek
-
Big Pine Creek
-
Laurel Branch
-
Big Glade Creek
-
Bledsoe Creek
-
Pine Swamp Creek
-
Prathers Creek
-
Cranberry Creek
-
Piney Fork
-
Meadow Fork
As well as wild trout waters such as Ramey Creek, Big Sandy
Creek and Stone Mountain Creek.
 We also lay claim
to one of the most beautiful sections of the New River with Smallmouth
Bass and Musky,
being the two predominate sport species. This section of the New River
also supports
catfish
and many other species.
Stone
Mountain State Park, has a Delayed Harvest Trout Stream and a Catch
& Release only stream. There is not a single reason a traveling angler
would not be happy staying in Alleghany!
