To catch fish, you need to know where to fish

“I have been fly fishing for a while and can honestly say your book is the most useful and easy to read fly fishing guide book I have encountered.” –  Sean W.

“Love the book! The best piece of equipment I’ve bought in a long time. – Barb A.”

Garrett County is Maryland’s premier trout fishing destination and the North Branch, accessible from both Maryland and West Virginia, is the main attraction. This book expands on the first edition with new content to provide step-by-step guidance on fishing the 30 miles of river between Westernport and Wilson.

Delivering a complete fly and spin fishing reference for Garrett County, this edition covers the best wild and stocked trout streams as well as the Savage, Casselman and Youghiogheny Rivers by incorporating material from Steve’s comprehensive book, Maryland Trout Fishing.

Steve provides the GPS coordinates for every known access point along with over a hundred pictures to allow you to assess the quality of the location before you spend the time and gas to get there.
