Savage River Angler is an Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing guide service based at Swanton, in the Garrett County lake and tailwater country of far Western Maryland, owned and guided by PJ Daley. The business is built around four cold-water rivers that sit within a short drive of one another: the upper and lower North Branch of the Potomac, the upper and lower Savage River, the Youghiogheny and the Casselman. Across those waters it fishes for brook, brown and rainbow trout, and it sells float trips, walk-and-wade days and instruction rather than lodging or retail. Full day floats are priced for one or two anglers at a flat rate, and the service says equipment can be arranged free of charge most of the time, so a visiting angler does not need to travel with a rod or waders. Bookings and river conditions are handled directly by the owner by phone or email rather than through an online booking engine, and anglers supply their own Maryland licence and trout stamp.
