The state Fish and Boat Commission said Friday that the property’s owner, CNX Resources Corp., closed the lake to accommodate ongoing natural gas operations.
Two weeks before the statewide opening of trout season, Lake Wilma, a popular trout fishery in Greene County, has been closed to the public. The state Fish and Boat Commission said Friday that the property’s owner, CNX Resources Corp., closed the lake to accommodate ongoing natural gas operations, and the shutdown was effective immediately.., near the state line and empties into Dunkard Creek.
Friday, Fish and Boat spokesman Mike Parker said the agency was looking for suitable alternative waters to stock the rainbow and golden rainbow trout that had been destined for Lake Wilma. CNX said the company intends to stock trout for a special community fishing day to be held on a date to be determined. Details were pending.
Fish and Boat recommended that anglers who had intended to open the season at Lake Wilma search for alternative fishing opportunities at an interactive trout stocking schedule on the agency’s website.
