About Rocky Gorge Reservoir
Anglers know Rocky Gorge Reservoir as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of Maryland, United States. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Rocky Gorge Reservoir is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

- For Channel catfish
