Western Maryland Fishing Vacation

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Youghiogheny River

After a long year of school, my son Kyle and his friend Zach and I took a week to fish Western Maryland. Our first stop was the Youghiogheny River, where we caught several rainbow trout, including a hefty 14-incher that took a black zonker streamer. Then on to Broadford Lake for some bluegill action � and we were not disappointed as we caught a lot of bluegills and pumpkinseeds, and enjoyed a delicious fish fry that evening. We enjoyed a day of brook trout fishing in the Savage River Watershed. We travelled to the Battie Mixon Fishing Hole where the boys caught several hybrid sunfish and largemouth bass, but really enjoyed seeing several species of turtles. We finished up the week on Deep Creek Lake where the guys reeled in some very large bluegills, along with yellow perch, smallmouth bass, and rock bass. Time well spent!
