About Maryland Trout Fishing: The Stocked And Wild
Product Description To catch fish, you need to know where to fish. Steve visited every location discussed and discovered 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! Reviewed and checked by members of the Potomac-Patuxent and Northern Virginia Chapters of Trout Unlimited, Potomac Valley Fly Fishers, and the Annapolis Chapter of the Free State Fly Fishers. Feedback included:"Likely to be regarded as the 'Bible' for trout fishing""Your work is well prepared, it is impressive" Review Steve Moore is a talented, enterprising writer who has written a number of books in a collection he dubbed "The Catch Guide Series." The largest of these editions is Maryland Trout Fishing. This 10" x 12" paperback covers 278 pages, has hundreds of pictures and maps, and provides detailed information on fishing 100 percent of the trout waters in the state of Maryland. -- Southern Trout Magazine From the Author With stocked locations, the fishing experience on any particular day depends on the last visit of the stocking team. For the wild spots, fishing quality will depend on environmental factors that change from year to year. For those reasons, I did not characterize the quality of fishing in each location. Instead, I offer the picture and description to allow you to make your own assessment while factoring in the current stocking schedule or weather. I cannot think of a location in the book I did not visit (I took all 551 of the pictures). I joke with friends that I am the only human to have visited every access point! As a result, I was able to provide detailed descriptions of each location. For example, the phrases, "the shade evaporates once the road breaks west..." or "walk over to the stream and slide down the ten foot tall bank to reach the water's edge" could only come from a visit. If you are considering purchasing the book, use the "Look Inside" feature to get a sense of the level of detail. While I visited all, I only fished the locations interesting to me (or legal since I am not a youth, blind or senior). In general, I fished the streams and rivers and took a pass on the small ponds and lakes. About the Author Steve is an avid, hard-core, terminally addicted fisherman. He was ruined for life when his father introduced him to the sport at the age of 7 while living in Norway as a result of military duty. Chasing trout on mountain streams left an enduring imprint and drive to find new water... something that tortures Steve to this day. Of course, this was preordained since Steve's father was fishing in a local bass tournament on the morning Steve was born. His father claims to have had permission to go, but Steve's mother does not remember
