kanawha river

Anyone crappie fish the river near charleston? Moving to the area and will have great river access. Worth my time or should I go somewhere else? Thanks for any success you may share. Don't need specifics just whether not you can catch them or not. Thanks

I was told that you shouldn't eat the fish because of the toxins but it's fun to catch them. My fiancee caught a small mouth by the tail near Teays Valley. She said it was skill but the water was so turbulent i think that was the real cause. LOL

The backwaters of the river have nice crappie in them.
