The Md. DNR shocked the lower Savage and found plenty of browns and brookies. This info. came from Mike at Savage River Outfitters located along the stream. I think some folks on this site had an interest in fishing Maryland. Things are better than originally thought.
Buddy of mine fished out there last weekend and said while the river looked OK, they didn’t see or catch anything.
As far as catching fish, that river gives me a fit. It is difficult. Only stream I know that has one section called the PHD Hole. I know good fisherman that won’t bother with it.
As far as bugs go, the pickings are pretty slim. The local TU group samples various streams per The Univ. of Md. to collect insects for their research. We did the upper Savage, and three tribs. We found plenty of caddis, mayflies, and stones. Also, crayfish, muddlers and other minnows. We checked one spot on the Lower Savage and two people found only a couple of nymphs. They know what they are doing and should have found more. We saw one fish rising. One friend of mine used an olive wooly bugger and caught some browns by keeping the bugger close to the surface.Please call Mike at Savage River Outfitters 703-513-1040. He can answer your questions. Website is savageriveroutfitters.com. Mike mentions Alan Klotz on his site. Alan told me a couple of weeks ago that there are fish in the Savage. Hope this helps.
Dave NI fished Casselman for the first time last week, and preferred it over the Savage, (and any other trout stream in MD )Pretty good afternoon hatch.( Cahils, sulphers, midges, hendricksons) I caught 8-9 in an afternoon, which for you guys out west aint much, but I was glad see trout again since moving from Colorado. I was surprised at the size of the fish and the fight on the line for MD.
