MD Streamflow

For a state with relatively few wild trout streams, Maryland documents them comprehensively.  Below we've compiled a listing of streams which were surveyed in the 1995-97 MBSS studies and found to hold trout.  These surveys remain the most comprehensive coverage of Maryland's most productive trout watersheds - later surveys have focused on larger - typically warmer - watersheds.

Each line of the table corresponds to a different survey.  In many cases, the same stream was surveyed more than once.  Each is listed separately.  Trout species found are listed in the final columns.  Surprisingly, two streams in MD support cut-throat trout, presumably descendents of a stocking experiment.
