The Big Hunting Creek Working Group met on Wednesday, November 20 at 1 p.m. in Thurmont. This is a working group coordinated by PVFF and includes representatives from Trout Unlimited, the Brotherhood of the Jungle Cock, Catoctin Mountain National Park, Cunningham Falls State Park, and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The goal is to address issues affecting the trout fishery in Big Hunting Creek and the other nearby Catoctin streams.
Presentation from Maryland DNR: Trout Population Surveys
At the meeting on November 20th, we discussed our ongoing projects and heard a presentation from the Maryland DNR on the results of their trout population surveys this summer. We will also be distributing the “Fly Fisherman’s Guide to Big Hunting Creek” brochure that the group has updated and printed.
