To catch fish, you need to know where to fish.
Maryland provides a startling array of trout fishing
opportunities, ranging from some surprising locations on the
Eastern Shore all the way to the wild and roiling rivers of Garrett
County in the western mountains. This book covers 100% of the
stocked trout water in Maryland along with the better known wild
trout streams. For each, Steve provides a description, directions
and an itemized list of access points. However, knowing anglers
judge water by "how it looks," he includes at least one picture
(551 total) for each location, allowing you to make an informed
judgment before burning the gas to visit any particular spot.
Given the availability of GPS technology on devices ranging from
cell phones to car navigation systems, Steve includes 902 GPS
coordinates to describe the stream boundaries as well as every
known access point. Plug these into your navigation system for
custom directions or into the Google satellite view for a
bird's-eye perspective of the water and the surrounding
terrain.
Add your own favorite wild streams using the methodological
approach described in the chapter on "Blue Lining." Finally,
Steve's chapter on "Stocked Trout Behavior" contains lessons
learned from a number scientific studies. Understanding the
movement dynamics of freshly stocked fish allows you to position
yourself to maximize your catch
