About Maryland Reservoirs
The Baltimore City water-supply reservoirs (Loch Raven, Prettyboy, Liberty) are restricted to electric motors only and require a watercraft permit. WSSC manages the Triadelphia and Rocky Gorge reservoirs in the DC suburbs under separate rules. Rocky Gap State Park's lake in western Maryland operates under standard state park rules.
What people fish for here
What anglers are reporting
Freshwater Fishing. Although the fall trout stocking program has reached its end, there are still plenty of opportunities for put-and-take anglers in the many community ponds and reservoirs that were stocked. If anglers try switching from Powerbait and work the waters distant from the usual stocking locations with spinners, they might be surprised with the trout that are still there. The delayed harvest and catch-and-return trout management waters will provide catch-and-release fishing from now until June. At that time there will be dates when they revert to put-and-take for the summer months. More information about the special trout management areas is on the DNR website.
