About Catoctin Creek
Catoctin Creek is a Potomac River tributary in Frederick County offering accessible spring trout fishing through a scenic valley along the eastern face of the Catoctin Mountains. The creek is stocked with rainbow and brown trout in the upper and mid sections, and its limestone-tinged water runs clearer and cooler than many Piedmont streams.
Regulations
Standard Maryland statewide trout regulations apply. Trout season opens the last Saturday in March; 5-fish daily creel, 7-inch minimum. Check Maryland DNR for current stocked reaches — stocking typically concentrated in upper Frederick County sections.
