If you live to catch trout, start here! The water just below the dam is pristine fly fishing water. You won't want to fish anywhere else. The area downstream of the kayak take-out has beautiful pools loaded with trout. There is a clean, bathroom available year-round and ample parking. Make the trip downstream to check out the famous "Blue Hole" fishing area. Nearly ALL of the Maryland State records for trout (less rainbow trout) have come from the North Branch of the Potomac.
