{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Maryland browns

No reports on upper tribs (although with lack of rain the brook trout streams must be really low).  North Branch at Barnum is flowing at 200cfs, which is low but still definitely fishable.  Savage tailwater has been steady at 53, which is also low but fishable.  Probably tough to sneak up on those wiley trout in the pocket water though.  The Gunpowder has been in the 30s, which is fishable, but definitely not ideal.  I tend to avoid it if its below 50, especially during the summer.  If it's that low, and you add in idiots trying to float or tube the river at that level, it makes for a frustrating day.

I fished Big Hunting on Saturday and it was flowing at a trickle. I hooked up with one nice brown and lost it in 5 seconds after it snapped me off on a rock that is usually a foot underwater at normal flows.Have to imagine Beaver Creek and rest of Catoctin streams are similar. Maybe Western MD is a better option? I haven't been up there recently but curious if anyone has reports on the Upper Savage tribs?

Curious where you've been finding good water. I've been out of the country last three weekends, but my last trip to a MD spring Creek in August  I got skunked. Hoping to get out next weekend and avoid that same outcome.

Been chasing browns in tailwaters, freestones, and one spring creek the last few weeks.  We've had slow, average, and good fishing overall depending on the day.  Most everything on the same beetle we use everywhere.  Lots of miles on the truck, but who cares?

A lot of these Maryland browns are beautiful fish!
