Largemouth Bass
Berwyn Heights, Maryland, offers some accessible largemouth bass fishing despite its urban setting. The key is to explore the local ponds and the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River. Lake Artemesia, a man-made lake in nearby College Park, is a popular spot with decent bank access. Look for bass around submerged vegetation, docks, and other structure. Spring and fall are the best times to target bass here, as they're more active in cooler water temperatures. Consider using soft plastics like worms or creature baits rigged weedless, or try topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening. The bass here tend to be pressured, so experiment with different presentations and lure retrieves. Be mindful of local regulations regarding catch and release.
