Many thanks, Misha. Although your message sounds like fancy talk for "you're screwed." I'm currently too cheap/poor to buy a permit in yet another state, but I'll def keep Big Spring in mind. And I assume there's no way to ascertain the temp of Passage without actually going there, correct?

Keep an eye on water temps. Passage is a freestone stream, so if that water temp doesn't rise above 39 degrees don't bother. Spring creeks and true tailwaters are a better bet. Big hunting and the Gunpowder do experience temps below 40 degrees. The online hydrograph for the Gunpowder has a temperature reading, so make sure you check that before you trek up there. That thing was stuck on 39 for 3 months last winter and it was very frustrating.

For some variety I would suggest you go up and fish Big Spring in PA. Big Spring is right at the 2 hour mark. It's got wild brookies and stocked rainbows and browns that can get really big eating the brookies. I've met people from D.C. that used to drive up there every week to fish it. (That person claimed every day but I adjusted his claim for reality.)
