NCC-TU collected water temp data last summer on Catoctin Mountain brookie streams in MD and from that we have a good feel for what time each stream becomes unsafe for C&R fishing. We hope to publish these results on our website soon but in most Catoctin streams that have good numbers of brook trout, the temps hold out through the end of June (or at least they did last year - this year may be different). The streams with lesser populations warmed sooner.
My fishing observations say brook trout fishing becomes poor above 65F and should be avoided altogether at 68F or above.

PSA: the brook trout season is IMO probably over unless you go waaaay the fuck into the mountains or to the one brookie stream in MD that I strongly suspect is basically a mountain limestoner, but for future reference the park streams have some fairly big fish if you know where to look and are willing to be a bit more careful about hatches.On Monday, May 31, 2021 at 11:05:02 PM UTC-4 Doug Graebner wrote:Nice-that's a good sized brookie! I got a bit too into brookie fishing this spring, but mostly in the southern end of the park b/c it's closer to where I go to school in Charlottesville.On Friday, May 14, 2021 at 7:01:16 PM UTC-4 brad dreisbach wrote:also where i caught my first trout. have been fishing it quite a bit this spring and have caught probably 100 trout there(40ish last weekend).On May 14, 2021, at 06:18, Danny Barrett <dannyt...@gmail.com> wrote:
Deff the Rapidan. IMO best river in that area, always make a point to fish it when im back seeing parents. But its where some of my first trout were and first flies i tied myself worked. might be bias. i always carry 2 rods in there. 1 weight with a bigger dry like size 12 and a 20s simple emerger. 3 or 4 weight with an indicator and a greenie weenie (or prince) and a zebra midge. for me its about covering ground. 4-5 casts each rod in a run and i'm moving on. those fish arent very smart but will spook easily. if i hook 1 in a pool, i move on.
as mentioned the road is rough. i get my subi in there but it has a metal skid plate and i know i have scrapes on it.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi all,
I'm taking the family to stay at Rose River farms cabins for the weekend but did not pay the fee to fish on its section of the river. I was wondering if you'd recommend exploring the Robinson where it meets the Rose, or any other rivers (Hughes?) within 30min or so. Any advice you experts have is greatly appreciated. We are all fairly new to flyfishing but excited to keep trying. Thanks very much.
Respectfully,

That sounds like a good plan, there is a cut off the fire trail that about 1/2 mile up which is a good starting point to find them.

Hi guys,
I am planning on taking my dad and son to the Rose River tomorrow and was wondering if you have any advice, since it will be our first time. Our plan is to park at the trailhead and walk up the fire road about a mile and find some pools, hopefully with a few brookies. Are there any restrictions I need to be aware of? Thanks for your help.
Paul
