- Completely revised and updated, including two new streams and updated
maps- 16 trout streams, with detailed information on hatches, tactics,
and access- List of major Maryland fly shops and other important
resourcesAs with the two prior editions, our aim in the book is to
provide a clear picture of each stream and to aid the angler in his or
her fishing efforts on that water. For the 16 streams and rivers
presented in the book, we offer a description; discuss the
characteristics of the trout that inhabit it and how to fish for those
trout; note the tackle and equipment that are appropriate; describe
insect hatches and other stream life; point to some of the problems
facing the stream; and tell you how to get there. A big part of getting
you there is a good map, and we have sought to create the very best maps
possible. In presenting this information, one of our main goals has been
to offer useful and interesting information, without getting the reader
lost in too many details.Each existing chapter has been revised and
updated, including both the narrative and the maps. And you will notice
two new chapters, one on the catch-and-release section of the Patuxent
River tailwater below Brighton Dam and the other on the parts of
Catoctin Creek that are now under delayed harvest regulations.Although
the book is oriented toward fly fishing, we aimed to make it useful to
spin fishers as well. Most of the streams we describe permit both spin
fishing and fly fishing. Stream descriptions, discussions of stocking
policies and trout in each river, as well as the maps and driving
directions will be every bit as pertinent to spin fishers as fly
anglers.
