GO FISH MEDIA

ABOUT

The founders of Go Fish Media, Jack Loudin and Rich Staley, have been fishing the freestone mountain streams of West Virginia their entire lives. Jack, born and raised in West Virginia, has fished every stream included in their fist book, West Virginia: Go Trout Fishing, and Rich is well on his way to accomplishing this goal as well.

They both love to backpack and fish in the most rugged wilderness areas in the state looking for brookies and wild trout. To those who wish to experience the fine trout fishing in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia, Jack and Rich are pleased to share their experience as well as their favorite streams.

MISSION

Go Fish Media, being a family owned limited liability company based in West Virginia, has a mission to promote fishing and other outdoor adventures in the wild and wonderful state through publication, production and promotion of outdoor products and any other means that may come their way.

MOVING FORWARD

In order to accomplish their goals, Jack and Rich have combined their vast experience, Jack in his knowledge of fishing and Rich in his expertise in cartography and technology, and have published the first in a series of books called West Virginia: Go Trout Fishing.

The first of its kind for West Virginia, this 282 page comprehensive guide covers the trout waters of every watershed in the state. It makes it easier to get around in the mountains, locate accommodations, find the type of water that you like to fish, and help you catch more fish using many types of tackle. Comprehensive maps, driving directions, parking, stream descriptions, and regulations are described in detail for each location.

Coming in the near future, Jack and Rich have started a second book on kayak fishing in West Virginia!

They also have plans for other books as well as a specialized product line of fishing gear and other outdoor equipment focused on fishing in the Appalachian Mountains!
