Maryland’s fishing season is gearing up, as Secretary Josh Kurtz heads out onto the lake at Tuckahoe State Park. With the arrival of the March full moon, known as the “Worm Moon,” it signals the start of trout season on March 29. Young anglers can also participate in the Youth-Only Trout Fishing Day on March 22. Fishing is a great way to introduce youth to the sport and enjoy Maryland’s natural beauty. Anglers are also being encouraged to help battle an environmental threat by catching blue catfish, which are harming important commercial fish species in the Bay.
For those looking for a challenge, becoming a FishMaryland Master Angler is the ultimate achievement, requiring catching 10 trophy-sized fish of different species in Maryland. While awards and big catches are thrilling, the sustainable management of Maryland’s fisheries is the department’s primary goal, with anglers playing a crucial role in promoting clean water and healthy fish populations. Maryland’s anglers are vital advocates in ensuring the state’s fisheries thrive.
