Just wanted to know where all you people go fishing in and around the Frederick area. ^.^

  • Mika,

    I think that the Monocacy river is the best fishing spot in town. It's good for Smallmouth, primarily. You can also wade in the Potomac down by Point of Rocks & Brunswick. Lake Linganore is good fishing, but it's supposed to be a private lake. When we lived there, 1/2 the county would fish it, though.

    A good place to get in the Monocacy is at the park where the Monocacy Blvd. bridge crosses, up by 26. Also, there is a small park at Micheal's Mill Rd and route 80 that is a good access point.

    The lake in Greenbriar is stocked and offers excellent fishing. You can also bring a boat there (electric motor only, I think).

    If you're a real die-hard and don't mind catch & release, then you can fish Cunningham Falls. The only thing worthy in there is trout and it's stocked trout only. No native trout in the state.
  • The Frederick Watershed has several ponds you can fish in. Nice scenery and not that crowded on weekends.

    There are also a few pay ponds around if you like them too. I cant remember the name of the one we have went to before but it is nearby Mountaindale Road (going towards thurmont).

    Another place is Whittier pond. Its not that bad but gets crowded at times...and there are alot of geese and ducks you have to step around.

    its not in frederick, but we always have luck going down to Harpers Ferry. Its ncie and quiet and when you feel a little hot you can always go swimming!
