Opening of Spring Trout Season, 2020 in the Height of COVID-19

Type: Nontidal
Region: Central
Location: Little Gunpowder Falls

I'm one of the frontliners fighting the war on COVID-19. I am stressed at work and scared when I read news about the increasing number of cases.

Nevertheless, today to relieve all the stress I am pursuing my passion. I fished today at Little Gunpowder Falls off of Jerusalem Road. I caught my limit in less than an hour. The fish were biting as soon as I could cast. I used a trout magnet. The trout are bigger this year when compared to previous years. There are only few anglers that are around. They are about 10 meters or more away from each other. I guess they practicing social distancing.

Thank you MD DNR for all your effort in stocking our water. For all the angler out there, be safe!
