North Branch Potomac River Delayed Harvest Trout Fishing Area

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

The Western Region Fisheries staff recently rail-stocked the North Branch Potomac River Delayed Harvest Trout Fishing Area bordering the Potomac State Forest. Working cooperatively with CSX Railroad, we were able to distribute 2,000 Rainbow trout into the remote sections of this special trout management area. Anglers wishing to experience this �get away from the crowd� type of fishing � I suggest parking at the access areas at Lostland Run, Laurel Run, and Wallman in the Potomac State Forest, and start hiking to enjoy this scenic river.
