Muddy Waters Blamed For Bass Decline In Monocacy
A 1948 survey by the Maryland Board of Natural Resources documents Monocacy River conditions. It notes heavy silt from deforested tributaries, only 20 to 30 percent watershed soil conservation, and poor spawning habitat contributing to reduced bass yields. Forests cover 25 percent of the watershed, mainly hardwoods, with an annual growth of 49 cubic feet per acre. The river drains 970 square miles, with 58 miles in Maryland, affecting water quality and fisheries management.
