Western Region including Deep Creek Lake, Youghiogheny River, North Branch of the Potomac River
Deep Creek fishermen are anxiously waiting for ice to form thick enough so they can begin their much beloved ice fishing season. Once the ice is thick enough fishermen will be out in force with their tip ups or sitting on a bucket jigging away.
Trout fishermen can still enjoy some wonderful fishing in the regions streams and rivers this winter. Fly fishing with various nymph type flies is the most common way to fish successfully. If fishermen pick their days and watch river flow conditions there is still good fishing for walleyes and smallmouth bass to be had on the upper Potomac. Pickups will be very subtle and lures need to be right on the bottom.
Western region fishermen enjoyed a good season of trout fishing in the region’s streams and rivers due to in a large part to the generous stockings of trout from the state’s hatcheries and the Freshwater Institutes donations of large rainbow trout.
