WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Conowingo Dam is one of the most celebrated fishing destinations on the East Coast, a hydroelectric dam on the lower Susquehanna River in Harford County, Maryland, where the powerful tailrace below the dam concentrates striped bass in extraordinary numbers each fall. The dam is equally famous for the spectacular American shad spring run that attracts crowds of anglers to its banks each April and May, and for exceptional walleye and blue catfish fishing year-round. Spot Features: Conowingo Dam is a historic hydroelectric dam on the Susquehanna River at the Maryland-Pennsylvania border in Harford County, Maryland. The tailrace below the dam creates one of the most famous and accessible striped bass fishing locations on the East Coast, where fish stack up to feed below the turbines. Striped bass are caught with live eels, large swimbaits, and cut bunker in the powerful tailrace current, shad with small darts in spring, walleye with jig-and-minnow rigs, blue catfish with cut bait. Seasonality: Striped bass are the primary year-round sport fish at Conowingo Dam, with the best action in fall (September-October) when fish congregate below the dam to feed on disoriented baitfish passing through the turbines. American shad make a spectacular spring spawning run (April-May) below the dam. Walleye and blue catfish are year-round residents of the Susquehanna River at the dam.
