AI-suggested draft · review before you go
A premier catch-and-release trout fishery in Baltimore County, this section of the Gunpowder Falls below Prettyboy Dam offers cold tailwater conditions year-round. The stream holds wild brown and rainbow trout in a scenic wooded corridor, making it one of Maryland's most celebrated fly fishing destinations. Anglers wade the riffles and pools using dry flies and nymphs, particularly effective during hatches of sulphurs and blue-winged olives.
