General reference, not legal authority.

This guide is a general reference, not legal authority. The Conowingo Dam sits on the boundary between TIDAL water (below the dam) and NONTIDAL water (above it), so the rules that apply depend on exactly where you fish and on the season, and they change yearly. Always confirm current regulations with Maryland DNR before keeping any fish. Maryland DNR fishing regulations .
