Live levels for Maryland's lakes and reservoirs — Deep Creek, the Corps lakes and Baltimore's water-supply reservoirs from the Alleghenies to the Piedmont. Every tube shows the normal pool, the current level, the lake's two signature fish (hover for the species, click for 2026 tournaments), and a live bite gauge at left. Scroll down for the Gunpowder & Savage trout tailwaters, the catfish rivers, and the Upper Potomac & Monocacy smallmouth floats.

Maryland punches above its weight in trout: the wild-brown Gunpowder Falls below Prettyboy, the trophy Savage River, and the cold North Branch Potomac below Jennings Randolph. The cylinder shows live flow (cfs), low = wadeable, high = fast water. Hover a trout for the species; tap it for a guide.
Roughly 100–300 cfs wades best on the Gunpowder & Savage; always check the dam-release schedule before stepping in — generation raises the river fast.
The tidal Potomac and the Susquehanna Flats are two of the country's top blue catfish fisheries. Live river stage (ft) from NOAA with the action and flood stages marked — moving, stained water turns the cats on. Hover a cat for the species; tap it for a guide.
The Upper Potomac is a premier smallmouth float from Hancock to Point of Rocks, joined by the Monocacy, the Lower Susquehanna and the mountain Youghiogheny. Live USGS gage height (ft); each tube marks FLOAT (minimum floatable), EXPERT (high water) and FLOOD. Hover a fish; tap it for an outfitter.
These rivers are flashy — they jump fast after rain and drop just as quick; the Upper Potomac fishes best on a steady level.
