About Brook Trout
Salvelinus fontinalis. Maryland's only native trout and a conservation priority species. Surviving wild populations are in small, cold headwater streams in Garrett, Allegany, and a few pockets of central/western MD. Small, aggressive, and spectacularly colored — sensitive to warming and habitat loss.
Preferred water temp: 40–65°F (ideal 52°F). Preferred tide: either.
MD regulations
- Daily creel limit
- 2
Statewide aggregate creel of 2 trout/day applies. MDDNR designates many wild brook trout waters as Catch-and-Return only or Zero-Creel — consult the water-specific rules before keeping ANY brook trout. Treat all native brook trout populations as fragile; catch-and-release is strongly preferred. Trout stamp required.
