The North Branch of the Potomac near Luke and Westernport is a recovering tailwater fishery below Jennings Randolph Dam. Stocked regularly with brown and rainbow trout; water quality has improved dramatically since paper-mill closures. Bank access along MD 135.
Water temperatures can be cold year-round thanks to deep reservoir releases — good for summer trout. Check MD DNR stocking reports for timing.
