Alta’s Bait & Outdoors of Paden City, WV

Jerry and Alta Koerber have operated Alta’s Bait & Outdoors and A&J Café in Paden City, WV for 23 years serving customers of Wetzel, Tyler, and Marshall counties in West Virginia and Pleasant County, Ohio faithfully. The Koerbers were active and proud supporters of local and state chapters of the National Wild Turkey Federation, Ruffed Grouse Society, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and Ducks Unlimited.
