Do I need a fishing license and can I fish anywhere in the parks?

Fishing is permitted only in designated areas and all park patrons are required to follow the applicable regulations from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (Civil Code 1-12-40(B)). Park Patrons may fish at Middletown Park or the Trout Pond at Fountain Rock Park. Fishing at the Fountain Rock Park quarry is prohibited. Fishing is also allowed off the Monocacy River per DNR regulations.
