Deep Creek Lake’s ecosystem is home to many species of fish suitable for recreational fishing.  Deep Creek Lake fishing is generally good year round with walleye and yellow perch being abundant even in winter when the lake is frozen. Perhaps the most well known Deep Creek Lake fishing is for bass, due to the submerged stumps and floating docks that provide cover for them.  Small mouth bass are the most prevalent, but large mouth bass also reside in the lake and make appearances during the many bass fishing competitions.  Other species you may find when fishing on Deep Creek Lake include Sunfish, Rainbow Trout, Northern Pike, Pickerel, Carp Bluegill, and Black Crappie.  For more Deep Creek Lake fishing reports, access to guide services and webcams for checking conditions, click here.
