Braiden's Rainbow Trout

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Little Falls, Potomac River

Braiden Walsh, age 12, was fishing with his dad when suddenly his fishing rod had some activity. The rod was close to being pulled into the water when Braiden quickly picked it up and started reeling. We noticed the fish come to the surface and knew right away that the fish was trophy. Braiden handled the activity well and had some help from dad at the end. The fished measured nearly 23 inches.>/p>

Great memories made that day!

Braiden received a FishMaryland certificate for this catch. Congratulations!
