Trout Fishing in the North Branch Potomac River

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: North Branch Potomac River

Danny Teets of Sang Run Outfitters Fishing Guide Service sent me a couple of pictures and story from a recent float fishing trip with his wife Ellen on the North Branch Potomac River. Ellen caught and released an amazing rainbow trout using a stonefly pattern, while Danny landed a colorful cutthroat trout that was stocked in the river as a fingerling. This cutthroat plus another one that measured in at 10 inches were rising to midges on what looked like a very chilly day. Ellen pointed out that her trout was much larger than her husband's trout.
