Maryland Stocks Whirling Disease Trout

Ooops! It appears that the state of Maryland inadvertently stocked thousands of trout in the western part of the state with trout that are infected with Whirling Disease. Ironically, Maryland was the first state to enact a ban on felt-soled waders, which began on March 22nd.  This legislation is meant to help prevent the spread of such diseases in streams.
