Will the DNR be stocking anymore trout this season in Frederick? I fish Middle Creak and Owen Creek and have had some great times there until the past two weeks. Fishing has come to almost a dead hault. Changing deliveries, lures, and approahces hasn't helped much at all. I went from limiting out and practicing catch and release all day to now only being able to catch 1-2 fish maximum in a morning of fishing due to a huge drop off in productivity. I am fairly new to the area having just PCSed to a new Army unit here and would love the opportunity to catch more trout (maybe even a trophy sized one) without having to drive a couple hours. Please let me know if you have some good news for me.
DNR Response: Hello Sgt Evans, glad you've had the opportunity to enjoy some trout fishing this spring. Locations regularly scheduled for stocking this week include Fishing Creek, Owens Creek and Friends Creek. There may be one additional bonus stocking at Middle Creek and that's all for Frederick County this season. We'll post the stockings on our Trout page the day of.
