Mattawoman Creek is a premier fishing destination in Charles County, Maryland, widely regarded as one of the Chesapeake Bay's most productive tributaries. This tidal creek extends approximately 20 miles with a 7-mile freshwater tidal estuary that eventually connects to the Potomac River. Known for its exceptional biodiversity, extensive wetlands, and submerged aquatic vegetation, Mattawoman Creek has earned a reputation as one of the nation's most famous fisheries for largemouth bass. The creek's clean waters flow through a largely undisturbed watershed, creating diverse fishing environments from brackish marshes near the mouth to freshwater tidal forests and non-tidal marshes upstream. Anglers can explore the creek's long S curves, expansive lily pad fields, and numerous shallow coves that provide habitat for a remarkable variety of fish species.
