      FISHING IS FAMILY FUN 
And grandpa enjoys teaching them the art of catching the prized fish. "I'd rather see them catch the fish than myself. It's more enjoyment." said Basham. The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources offers plenty of hot spots where kids are almost guaranteed to catch fish.
It is not the size of the fish that matters, in fact, Mark recommends going after smaller fish.
Taking the kids fishing is very affordable. Children 14 and under do not require a license and no fancy equipment is needed. The great thing about Plum Orchard Lake is that you can rent little boats, to take the kids out fishing or just out for a ride. Scott recalls when he was younger and would go fishing. "I know I used to fish on the Greenbrier River a lot. I would take a break and catch crawfish, play in the water, go back and fish a little bit, just have a good time." In the end the size of the fish really doesn't matter. It is the fun of fishing and joy of family being together.
Most smaller lakes across the state have perfect fishing for kids.
