In addition to management of the fisheries of the Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries, twenty-nine non-tidal state fishing lakes are open
to public fishing. The Department produces over 321,624 freshwater
trout, stocked from Maryland's hatcheries in Washington and Garrett
Counties. In addition, 179,102 fingerling and adult trout are also
received from private and federal hatcheries and stocked in Maryland
waters. Catfish and other warm water fishes are released in inland
ponds and other waters. Extensive rehabilitation of the lakes, ponds
and streams was carried on through chemical and mechanical means
to provide better freshwater fishing (Code 1957, 1970 Repl. Vol., Art.
66C, sees. 112A-328).
