 West Virginia WILD - Trout, Turkey and Ramp 

4/13/2010  It is that time of year again that West Virginians wait with their shotguns, fishing rods and little mattocks. It is time to head for the mountains in search of spring gobblers, trout and ramps. It is one of the most beautiful of all seasons in the mountains. Soon the redbuds and dogwoods will be in full bloom. The warm rays of spring sunshine will be glistening on the backs of our wild mountain gobblers and the water of our trout streams will reflect a brilliant blue sky.

While we talk abut heading for the mountains in search of wild gobblers, it isn’t really necessary unless you also want to have the full experience of the trout fishing and the digging of a few ramps. The total experience comes when you are able to catch a few trout, dig some fresh ramps and throw the whole mess into a cast iron skillet with potatoes and a little bacon. Sitting around a little campfire with the soft wind whispering through the hemlocks is about as good as it gets.
