This place has got to be one of my main fishing spots, and I couldn’t help but leave a review. I’ve found lots of bluegill around here, mainly off the trail that connects the dam and harford glen. The bait I ended up using was fake minnow lures to try and catch these guys, and it worked. They love to swim around and eat at the lures, and you can see them doing it if the water isn’t so murky, which is even better. Definitely give this place a try if you want rather smaller fish, such as bluegill. (There’s also a lot of bass and fall fish too!) I would recommend either park at harford glen and take the trail, or, park alongside the bottom of Montrose Way and there’s a rocky path you can take into the reservoir.
I have been fishing for a few months now. I’ll catch a catfish here in there in the Baltimore city area. Oh but today was my day. Back River is by far the best fishing water I’ve ever experienced. Today I caught 6 catfish 2 white perch 2 sunfish and a croaker. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. I would highly recommend this body of water to anyone whether you have a boat or fishing from the bank/pier.
