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 – 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
