so far I've only fished the base of the Brighton Dam but I've caught a 5lb striper on a 1/4 oz inline spinner here back on opening day March 2020. another guy caught a decent sized Pike on a spoon on the same day I caught that striper. I hear that walleyes and muskies from downriver in rocky gorge area run up here during the spring. I have yet to catch one of those, but telling from my juvenile experience here along with the decent fish tales I've heard around here, I can tell that this whole WSSC area is a great place to target big fish!
this location is inaccurate. i believe many catches are coming from bogley branch and falls mead park and the surrounding lakelands area. if you are not from this area and are traveling through please make sure to look for signs at lakes as there are many karens about. this are is close to the montgomery county police headquarters so dont do anything stupid
