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.
Great place for taking the boat out, or casting from shore. Also has a great playground and lots of space for picnicking laying out on blankets/mats or setting up hammocks. There is also an area for beach access for swimming. Small entry fee per vehicle, but military gets in free. Boat ramp access is $10/day or $75/year.
