About this water
One of Maryland's finest wild trout streams, the Savage River below the dam offers exceptional fly fishing for wild brown trout in a remote Garrett County setting. The cold tailwater discharge from Savage River Reservoir maintains ideal trout temperatures even in summer. This stream is known for technical fishing requiring precise presentations and is a favorite among experienced Maryland fly anglers.
