Maryland’s pre-season trout stocking program is well underway. Interesting that Maryland’s website notes the West Virginia DNR trout stocking in the North Branch of the Potomac. I guess that thin slice of western Maryland is hard to completely untangle from West Virginia with respect to its fisheries.

Officials in the Mountaineer State have been busy stocking trout this week. With temps expected to be in the low to mid thirties and scattered snow showers in most places throughout the state, dress warmly, bring some deep running nymphs… or just stay home and tie some flies.
