Hawlings River is a public river in Montgomery County, Maryland, managed by Maryland DNR. You can fish it on a Maryland fishing licence (a free tidal Chesapeake Bay & Coastal registration for tidal water, or a nontidal licence inland); bank access is at Maryland DNR-listed fishing access sites and bridge crossings. Maryland has no blanket streambed-access law; away from a public access point, wading or bank fishing may cross private property, so check current signage or ask permission.
Lakes and ponds across the Northeast typically hold largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, and panfish such as bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish -- species commonly documented across the region's public waters by state wildlife agencies.
It runs roughly 14 miles through the Central Maryland region. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Triadelphia Reservoir and Lake Hallowell.

Anyone 16 or older needs a Maryland fishing licence — a nontidal freshwater licence is about $20.50 resident / $40 non-resident annual (with short-term options), while tidal Chesapeake Bay and coastal water needs a separate, free Chesapeake Bay & Coastal Sport Fishing registration. A Maryland trout stamp (~$5) is required in addition to fish for or possess trout on nontidal put-and-take waters. Residents 65 and older need no licence. Buy from DNR at dnr.maryland.gov. A Maryland fishing licence (tidal registration for Chesapeake/coastal water, nontidal licence inland) covers this water — it's a DNR-listed public fishing access site.
