Fly-fishing is therapeutic for many disabled military veterans, who receive training through Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Inc. Oakland resident Harold Harsh, a former Marine, has been involved with the group since its inception about five years ago. Harsh is pictured above with TSGT Shaun Meadows, USAF, at a fly-fishing tournment at Rose River Farm in Syria, Va. Note that Meadows has endured a grave injury, but now stands on his own.

FRESHWATER: Trout fishing in the western portion of the state can offer some respite from the heat and plenty of peace since most trout waters are shaded and running cool.

Warm water has made fishing difficult at Deep Creek Lake. has been tough due to warm water temperatures and a lingering fish kill. The upper Potomac River can offer some fun fishing for smallmouth bass in the 12-inch to 14-inch range. The feisty little fish are jumping on a wide variety of lures, such as tubes cast into some of the deeper pools.

Largemouth bass fishing continues to be best in the early morning and late evening hours. Any kind of shade in the form of old docks, overhanging brush or thick grass will be a good place to target. Cool feeder creeks will also attract them.

Bluegills will be holding near lily pad fields or grass edges, offering some good fishing with a light fly rod and rubber-legged poppers, or on a spinning rod with a simple bobber and worm or cricket bait.

Town Creek: The water was pristine

I HAVE LIVED in Maryland for more than 20 years and am ashamed to admit that I had never fished Town Creek until last year. For years, I have traveled I-68 through Allegany County on my way to fly fish the popular trout fisheries in Garrett County, driving right over Town Creek without stopping to sample the waters.
Last March, I took the opportunity to do a little early morning turkey scouting in Green Ridge State Forest, and combined the outing with some afternoon fly fishing in the delayed-harvest trout fishing area on Town Creek.

Before leaving home, I checked the Maryland Freshwater Sportfishing Guide online for information on tackle restrictions and printed the driving directions from the Department of Natural Resources website.

Like the other delayed harvest areas in western Maryland, such as the Casselman River and the North Branch of the Potomac River, Town Creek is managed as catch and release with artificial lures or flies only restrictions in the fall, late winter and throughout the spring.
