I live near Cheat Lake and it is one of the best bass lakes around.Several yrs back the DNR (Water quality control) started treating the mine drainage that was polluting the Cheat river.The Cheat River is great smallmouth water and the lake holds both sm. and lm. along with perch and a good population of walleye.
