The rivers in western Maryland have been running high for the last month. This week flows on the Savage came down to safe wading levels and I had the opportunity to fish for a couple of hours yesterday. I found most of the fish in deep slack water sections of the river and they were stuck to the bottom. I didn't observe any fish in higher sections of the water column. With the water temperature in the high 30's the key is deep and slow. I had to make numerous drifts through likely holding areas to produce strikes. It seems like the fish will not move far to take a fly, so you have to put it right on their nose.
