SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The Division of Natural Resources is encouraging families to go fishing and visit West Virginia’s state parks through a rewards program.

Those who catch tagged trout at one of five state parks will earn a certificate good for $100 off a weekly cabin rental. Catching a tagged catfish will earn the holder a free night of camping.

The tagged fish were stocked at Tomlinson Run, Watoga, Cacapon, Cedar Creek and Pipestem state parks.



With some restrictions, the cabin rental discount is for Lost River, Cass Scenic Railroad, Beech Fork, Greenbrier State Forest, Holly River, Pipestem, Cacapon Resort and Bluestone state parks.

The camping offer is at one of the following state parks: Cedar Creek, Chief Logan, Little Beaver, Moncove Lake, North Bend, Pipestem, Tomlinson Run, Watoga Berwind and Coopers Rock.
