Maryland Catfish Trail

Blue Catfish

The Maryland Office of Tourism Development recently announced the new Maryland Catfish Trail, a resource for conquering the invasive species challenge in the state's waterways.

Anglers can explore handpicked locations, including tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac River, Upper Bay, and Sassafras Rivers.

The Catfish Trail includes public access points, charters, and guides, and other aids to help anglers successfully target and catch invasive blue catfish.

The site also connects enthusiasts to restaurants and chefs statewide who are serving up responsibly sourced blue catfish cuisine. Restaurants and chefs across Maryland are creating inventive dishes featuring local blue catfish.

Anglers will find more about catching the invasive blue catfish on the Maryland DNR website, and the Fish and Hunt Maryland website.
