Fishing the Tug Fork River

Get your Fishing License

West Virginia and Kentucky have a reciprocal license agreement along the Tug Fork allowing a license holder in one state to fish the river's shoreline of the other state. The agreement does not extend into any tributaries, only the riverbanks.

Both states do require licenses for fishing. Be sure to check out their guidelines for all details and regulations.
