April offers many fishing opportunities to anglers, ranging from trout to invasive species such as northern snakeheads and blue catfish.
A reminder to anglers that all fishing for striped bass, including catch-and-release, is prohibited in the Chesapeake Bay or any of its tidal rivers except the main stem of the Potomac River for the month of April. The main stem of the bay will open to striped bass fishing on May 1 south of the Brewerton Channel.
