Maryland alerts anglers to whirling disease
ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fisheries officials are reminding anglers of steps they can take to help reduce the spread of whirling disease occurring in trout in western Maryland. To reduce the likelihood of spreading the spores of the organism, DNR is asking anglers not to move caught fish from one stream to another, not to discard carcasses in the stream or on the stream banks, and to remove mud from boots and equipment before moving from one stream to another.
