Trout

If you’ve ever met me, you know that I love fly fishing. Spending the morning on the tranquil waters of Gunpowder Falls has to be one of my top ways to unwind – and springtime is a great time for trout fishing.

Trout are one of the few animals in our area where non-native species are not only available and accepted – but managed, stocked, and encouraged. There are three types of trout that can be found in Maryland waterways, but only one is a native species.

As chief executive officer, John Racanelli leads a team of 600 full and part-time employees and 1,000 volunteers in pursuing the National Aquarium’s mission to inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic treasures. More than 1.5 million people annually visit the Aquarium’s venue in Baltimore, Maryland, while millions more are touched by the Aquarium’s education programs, outreach activities, social media campaigns and conservation initiatives.
