In Maryland, anglers enjoy an incredible variety of freshwater fishing opportunities. Within the state are hundreds of trout streams, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, rivers, and creeks that sustain populations of freshwater fish.
Several Maryland rivers are nationally recognized for their largemouth bass and smallmouth bass fisheries. A number of Maryland tidal rivers contain robust populations of northern snakehead, blue catfish, and other introduced species.
