Your Favorite Lake in Maryland

[clarker2000]

Hey Looney
I would love to trade out with you.  Are you interested in a spring trip to loch raven?  I wouldnt mind hitting the Sassafras. Let me know.  Starting the end of April Loch raven gets real hot.  typical days are 30 plus fish with many over the 5lb mark.

I would have to agree with clarker2000, Loch Raven is rockin' in the spring and late fall.  The problem is everyone knows it.  The number of boats there on the weekend is phenomenal.  Maybe they should create another boat ramp closer to the upper end.  This would relieve some of the pressure on the lower end with all the rentals.

Second choice: Prettyboy Reservoir for quality smallies.

[clarker2000]

A second ramp at Loch raven would be great.  The whole fishing shop office at Loch raven is BASS ACKWARDS.  They close early, when they want to open they open, people park cars in the trailer spaces and they are selling too many permits.  I remember going there 3 or 4 years ago and seeing maybe 30 boats a day on the lake, no on a normal weekend there is about 200.   That would be awesome.

Nanjemoy creek at Potomac river and also Indian head at Potomac. Just good fishing there

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.

[padawan angler]

you aint kidd'n about them smallies. It's like that clear on up into WV on up into the south branch.

[go9210]

wheatley lake and smallwood state park no doubt. If anybody is looking for a lesson/guide in either of these places lmk. i dont have a boat so if you have one that would be great.

[schemmster]

Piney run , Smithsville, Unicorn and Potomac River are the great places for bassing.

I love all the eastern shore rivers. I am sure the western sure ones are nice. I'll be trying my hand on the potomac here soon. The one kid talking about choptank I had a club tx there last year and a friend of mine caught a 8.57 largemouth. here is a pic

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!
