| Cortland Manor, NY Posts: 77 | any suggestions? I am open to non-trout species... would love to pick up a hickory shad on the fly... but any pretty stream that I can flyfish will work. I will be down there next week and would like to sneak out... | |

| Chambersburg, PA Posts: 157 | Mcjames, Not sure how far it would be but both Big Hunting and Big Owens are very pretty streams which also contain trout. These streams are found near the town of Thurmont just north of Frederick on US15. Unfortunatly you are probably a month an a half late for the Shad Runs on the susquehanna and Deer Creek. I havent checked the water temps in a while but the Susquehanna flats cold be worth checking out for cow Rockfish or other warm water species that tolerate brackish and tidal waters. Hope those tidits prove useful. JW | |

| Northwest PA Posts: 53 | There is plenty of access to Big Hunting along 77 near Thurmont. The Potomac is probably a good bet for smallies and panfish. Also, trout in the north branch of the potomac. Call Murray at Hunting Creek Outfitters in Frederick. He should be able to help you out, or at least know someone who could. http://www.huntingcreekoutfitters.com/ | |

| Chambersburg, PA Posts: 157 | In areas you can however it is a huge tidal basin, actually the very top of the Chesepeake Bay so access to a boat can make it great. I would think there would be reasonable access to things like white perch, and the like in close that could be great fun with the long rod. You will need to check with MD DCNR as there are some special regs for fishing the flats due to it being a major spawning ground for linesiders. JW | |
