Fishing With Dad

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Savage Reservoir

<p>On 9-14-13 Me and Dad fished at Savage River Dam from our canoe. Again we caught our limit of some nice Rainbow Trout. We caught some nice perch, here is a picture of two of them. We also caught some Rock Bass and Smallmouth Bass. We noticed a turtle on a log and got close enough to get a good picture before he jumped into the water. Im not sure what kind of turtle this was, could you please let me know what kind of turtle he is?</p><p> DNR's Response: Hello Ethan, DNR has a web site listing all the species of turtles/tortoises within Maryland <a href="http://dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/plants_wildlife/herps/testudines/Red-earedSlider.asp"> click here to view</a>.
