Location: syracuse indiana | hey im looking for some information on the weston area. my wife has grandparent that live there. and later this fall we want to go there and see them. and of course im taking the boat. i have heard stonewall jackson is a tough one and i want to give it a try.. does anyone have any info on places to stay around there. where the boat is safe.. her grandparents have a driveway that i would not be able to pull a boat up into. so we have to find aplace to stay and be able to charge the batteries...

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Nut,
I fished that lake about 6-8 times back in 2001..
very scenic area and there is a nice state park with hotel and campground right on the lake.. It's a very good LMBass lake and has good areas to cast for muskies,
I cought 2 trolling and a FAT 45" casting when I was there. The Buckannon river isn't far either and has a good muskie population.
I think someone just nailed a 54" muskie this month in the lake,...... also check out the MI area website for more tips.
Stonecole is another lake close by, but has a hoursepower restriction.
Fall is just beautiful there.

Thanks for all this info top and everyone else who have been "pm"ing me about the lake and area.
we went there a few years ago and i was in all my musky gear (shirts hats ect) books and mags to keep me occupied from bordum.. and her grandpa told her to take me to the lake and show it to me. i had asked what was the name and when he said stonewall jackson a lightbulb went off in my head. i ran the next day to walmart and got a dnr book and looked it up and sure enough i was so close to muskies and me with no boat and no gear.. so this time its going with me.. i have chased these fish all over america and canada, but never in wv.. until now...thanx again...bill
also does anyone have a good map, or know where i can find one , more detailed than i have found online.. im not sure how long we are going stay. i might have to check into the campground, she might like that
