Hey, You are going to my back door. I lived in Canaan (actually Davis) the little town 3 miles from the valley until 6 years ago. . Sorry but there are no skeet shooting ranges nearby. As for fishing i can definitely help you out there. One of the easiest places to fish is- when you come through Davis (and dont sneeze or you will miss the town) and start across the blue bridge heading up Davis mountain to Canaan you will see another bridge on your left. That bridge crosses yellow creek and the dirt road runs parallel to Blackwater River for about five miles. On that strech of river you can catch rainbow trout. Flies are best this time of year as you will be fishing for stocked trout but they have been in the water since spring. Travel on that road is permitted and the road is not rough. There you can keep what you catch and will be primarily rainbows. In Blackwater Falls State Park you can fish from the falls downstream. best to park on the lodge side of the canyon at the gentle trail to falls. This spot will produce some monster browns but you have to hike down in the canyon. It is stocked by helicoptor and is catch and release only. WV has a three day non res fishing license which is not expensive. Short drive off the mountain and you are in LarryOurs country which is good fishing also. Want more info let me know!
