Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Bring a bite tippet when you're trout fishing the Patuxent

Ah! yes small mouths are not native. Nor are most of the fish we like to target. One of the reasons I love shad, native and wild!

tperkins,  sorry for the confusion. 

Chain Pickerel I do believe are native.  My comment was about the Small Mouth Bass.  I love them but they are not native to our streams here..

I believe that Chain Pickerel are native to the region. http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/factsheet.aspx?SpeciesID=681. They are one of my favorite fish to catch.

Honestly, I wish chain pickerel were managed more intensely where they are native here.  They'd probably do better than trout in a lot of places (maybe not all) which are currently stocked with trout.

I'm starting to feel that way about smallmouth bass.

As far as I know, they are not native in MD rivers. They are a Mississippi River Basin (Ohio and others) fish.  Slightly more native than the Snakehead.   At least the TigerMuskie is a sterile hybrid which should go away as they die off.  

However I'm a big Smallie fan.  Sort of like "Pheasants Forever".
