    They were plentiful there in the late 70's and early 80's. I don't know about these days. Back then, you could catch all kinds of stuff in loch raven. :innocent0

    Still can:D

    Deep Creek always had a viable population but, it's been a while since I've fished there.

    Nice Northern! :thumbsup:

    I have caught a few in MD, but we catch a lot of em on our summer excursions to Canada.. A good Northern will usually win the pot over a good Eye up there.. lol

    I caught my first northern on Devils Track Lake (Superior Natl Forest) when I was a kid. Northern are pretty tasty.

    Caught tons of'm in Alaska. They love to laze around in sloughs and oxbows along rivers. We sight fish them with buzbaits and deer hair mouse flies. I caught 75 in one day on flies breaking the lodge record. What a blast!
