An excellent source for fishing Maryland streams is the "Guide To Maryland Trout Fishing, The Catch-and-Release Streams" by Charlie Gelso and Larry Coburn. The second edition was published in 2006 and you can purchase a copy at one of our chapter meetings or in local fly shops. This book provides access maps, fishing techniques, and key hatches on our local streams.
