Garrett
North Branch of the Potomac
One of the great fishing locations shared between Maryland and West Virginia
Trout – North Prong, Lostland Run (MD – North Branch Feeder)
Well… this was a waste of my time… sort of.
Trout – Monroe Run (MD)
Small brookie water near a well developed campground offers a long, easy walk but not much else.
Trout – Little Savage River (MD)
Rough hiking from the top, skinny water
Trout – Little Youghiogheny (MD – Oakland)
Not real attractive…
Trout – Youghiogheny River (MD – Delayed Harvest – Friendsville)
Easy access, also gives you a shot at walleye.
Trout – Youghiogheny River (MD – Oakland Area)
Stick to the area above Oakland
Trout – Elk Lick (MD – Savage Watershed)
Tight, tough water.
Bass/Trout – Deep Creek Lake (MD)
Need to cool off?
Bass/Trout – Broadford Lake (MD)
Here’s an alternative to Deep Creek
Trout – Poplar Lick (MD)
It’s offlimits to vehicles… but very much “on limits” to anyone willing to walk.
Trout – Mudlick Run (MD)
A nice little trout stream
Trout – Middle Fork (MD)
Wonderful scenery… sparse fish after the massive rains
Trout – Dry Run (MD)
Tough fishing brookie stream feeds into the Savage
Trout – Crabtree Creek (MD)
Spectacular Fall weather sets up a great day.
Trout – Herrington Creek (MD)
A mix of wild and stocked.
Trout – Big Run (MD – not VA!)
Maryland has a Big Run feeding the Savage River Reservior
Trout/Bass – New Germany Lake (MD)
A high mountain destination – fish the lake or hunt for brookies in Poplar Lick, the lake’s tailwater stream.
Bass – Herrington Lake (MD)
Nice place in Garret County as an alternative to Deep Creek
Trout – Crabtree Creek Overview
Zero Creel Limit, cold brook trout water – an alternative to the Savage River
Trout – Muddy Creek (MD)
Muddy? No way!
Bass/Trout – Piney Reservoir (MD – aka Frostburg Reservoir)
Trout now, bass in the summer
Trout Hike – Savage River (MD – Lower FFO Section)
The Savage FFO proved to be too dangerous for me to fish on a rainy day.
Trout Hike – Savage (MD – Bloomington)
Tough fishing downstream of the first bridge outside of Bloomington. Leave this section to the experts
Trout Hike – Youghiogheny River (MD – Sang Yang Run Upstream)
The Sang Run access point opens up a wide, beautiful stretch of the Yough
Trout Hike – Upper Savage River (MD)
Not the most exciting place, but it will fill a need if you are frustrated by the smart fish in the special regulation section.
Trout Hike – Middle Fork (MD – Lower Section)
The Mid-Atlantic Budget Angler leads me to a nice brook trout stream
Trout Hike – Casselman River (MD – Bridge)
Not enough water to be worth it in the fall – come here in the spring when the water is higher.
Trout Hike – Casselman River (MD – Mid Section)
Deeper pools in this section hold all the fish during the low water conditions of October 2008
Trout Hike – Bear Creek (MD)
So just where do they put the fish? Not a place to go in low water conditions.
Trout Hike – Savage River (MD – Below Suspension Bridge)
Rocks that are snot slick; nasty, tough fishing; highly educated trout!
Trout Recon – Youghiogheny (Friendsville, MD)
River looks pretty dull up here. We did not have time to hike very far south on the road to Kendall – it may pick up down there.
Trout Hike – Youghiogheny (MD – Swallow Falls North)
We were in the hunt for the elephants that were stocked here last month – 65 six pounders covertly inserted into the river at Swallow Falls
Trout Hike – Youghiogheny (MD – Swallow Falls South)
For those who are willing to hump it in, it looks like good pocket water about a mile south from the parking lot on an otherwise unproductive section of the river
Trout Hike – Youghiogheny (MD – Hoyes Run)
Water was low the day we were there. This is a tough river to walk. Plenty of pools and good smallie action in spite of the water level
Trout Recon – Savage River
Checked out the trophy water on the Savage
