Not a lake in MD, but I enjoy Lake Anna. As for fishing in MD, I love the Upper Potomac. Not as crowded, and larger boats can't fish it. Great Smallmouth fishing, too.

Look into Swan Creek(marina), Greenway Flats, Mattawoman Creek and Nanjemoy Creek on the Potomac. If you get there, you'll see why! Awesome!

Well, I live in Georgia now, but spent my first 56 years in Frederick. I fished Deep Creek a couple times but never had much luck. The Potomac is tops with me! I spent many a day fishing the upper Potomac around Dickerson and White's Ferry, fishing for smallmouth and catfish. When I got my boat, I fished out of Mattawoman and  Belle Haven quite a bit. BIG catfish in the tidal Potomac, too!

Hands down, Loch Raven Reservoir! In the spring (starting in early May), you can catch over 100 fish a day fishing flukes in 6" of water. You can see clearly thru the water, you cant see the fish but they just come from nowhere. (ALMOST as fun as a topwater bite!) In the summer, find grass find bass...and the grass is everywhere! In the fall, (NOW!) when the grass starts to die the fish move shallow and find wood and can be caught using nearly any method. Loch Raven had a 30lbs bag win a tournament this year. What a great fishery!  ~shhh

Liberty Reservoir. There is so much water to fish and so many different fish to catch.  I have seen 25 pound rock and 6 pound walleye.  You can catch a smallmouth on one part of a cove and a largemouth on the other end.
It is hard to figure out, but so much to offer and so close to Baltimore.
For anyone interested there are huge cats and monster carp.

Liberty is great, you are right about the monster carp.  I've gone there to sight fish with my fly rod a few times for those carp.  Sure is fun.  Liberty is exciting, but it is a tough nut to crack.  Sometimes there I slay them, other times I get the skunk.   :'(

Where is the best place to catch catfish up at Liberty from the shore and what do you use for bait?

This is an interesting thread with useful information...BUT...the original inquiry asked for the favorite LAKE...

I don't want to put a damper on the dialog...but I thought that I could add this info:

From the Maryland Geological Survey…
At: http://www.mgs.md.gov/esic/fs/fs15.html

Q1: Is it true that Maryland does not have any natural lakes?

A1: Yes, there are no natural lakes in Maryland. All of Maryland’s lakes are manmade by damming rivers. Some have been named lakes (e.g., Lake Habeeb in Allegany County and Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County), but most have been named reservoirs (e.g., Loch Raven Reservoir in Baltimore County).

Q4: Why are some manmade lakes called lakes while others are called reservoirs?

A4: There are no hard and fast rules about naming. However, in general, the primary use of the manmade lake/reservoir determines what the body of water is called. If the primary use is recreation, the body is often called a lake (e.g., Deep Creek Lake, Greenbrier Lake, and Lake Linganore). If the primary use is water supply, hydroelectric power, and/or flood control, the body is more likely called a reservoir (e.g., Prettyboy Reservoir, Loch Raven Reservoir, and Triadelphia Reservoir).

Yes this is an interesting thread.  And I have a question for Blainefred or anyone else .  Your description of a lake and a reservoir is pretty interesting but I have a question.
I fish on Conowingo a lot and we refer to it as a POND.  It's main purpose is for power generation so by your description it should be called Conowingo Reservoir. However,  it is more commonly called Conowingo Lake but other than fisherman and a few pontoon boats it doesn't see much recreation although that generally fits.

So what is it?? :) :)
