Deep Creek Lake
The largemouth bass fishery in Deep Creek Lake
continues to be characterized by a relatively low
density but a high proportion of large fish. The
results suggest that growth rates are sufficient to
support a high-quality fishery; however,
recruitment to stock size may be limited.
Smallmouth bass are the most abundant black
bass species in Deep Creek Lake and provide a
quality fishery for anglers for both numbers and
quality fish. There were 11 tournaments on Deep
Creek Lake in 2024 with an average winning
weight for a five fish bag of 13.9 pounds and an
average lunker of 4.7 pounds
