About this water

The Potomac River at the Paw Paw Bends section in western Maryland offers outstanding smallmouth bass fishing in a remote and scenic setting. This stretch of the river is characterized by long pools, rocky shoals, and excellent habitat for trophy smallmouth bass. Canoe and kayak access is popular here, and wade fishing is productive during lower water levels.
