Maryland Fly Fishing - Patuxent River

Patuxent river Maryland here I use an egg pattern under an indicator in some crystal clear water to pick up a couple rainbows and a beautiful brown trout This river holds some of the larger maryland rainbows I have found.

Bro! That underwater footie was epic😮 I subscribed for that alone 🤙🏾 I loved your video

[@MLTackle]

I appreciate you man! Get out there! The trout are everywhere right now!

[@tightliningmd]

Nicely done! I have fished that section before. Some fat rainbows, and that one brown, that looked wild? Try not to lip those trout, especially not the wild ones. Precious resource, although I am not DNR or the morality police. I just use forceps, or barbless hooks to avoid as much time handling as possible. Nice job in that hole, can be a tough one to fish.

From what I’ve read they have stocked rainbow and wild browns the further upstream you go the more you get into the browns! Thanks for watching!

[@seanbeck1370]

That brown isn't wild, it's stocked. The spot patterns give it away. He's fishing the Elbow Pool which is a spot we dump a lot of stockers into.

@@seanbeck1370 Sorry I missed this comment, That was a great looking Brown. Want to so thanks for whatever part you play in the stocking! would love to get involved myself. Let me know if you are willing to have a chat about the process. Fish on!

@@MLTackle PPTU handles stocking the Patuxent above and below Triadelphia and the Middle Patuxent. If you'd like to join a crew then join PPTU (pptu.org)! Currently I'm advocating that we cease stocking over the wild browns and divert the stockers to below Brighton Dam. The river doesn't have the holding capacity required for those fish, and having rainbows in there during the Fall spawn means reduced spawning success. I would then extend that to modify the regulations below Brighton to be flies and artificials only rather than fly only.

@@seanbeck1370 I thought PPTU stopped stocking below Brighton Dam years ago?

[@scorpionbrewingllc1813]

Do you know Calvert County at all? Trying to find public access points in Calvert County, along the Patuxent River, that would be good for fly fishing.

[@MLTackle]

Sorry for the delay. Not to familiar with Calvert. I mostly hit the savage and woodbine area but I’ll look into it and see what I can find! Thanks for watching, good luck out there!
