Brookeville, Maryland, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities in its surrounding lakes and reservoirs. Triadelphia Reservoir (also known as Brighton Dam) and Rocky Gorge Reservoir are two prominent choices. These reservoirs are known for their diverse structure, including submerged timber, rocky points, and weed beds, all of which hold bass. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to fish for largemouth here, as the bass are more active during these periods due to more favorable water temperatures. In the spring, focus on shallow water near spawning areas. A practical tip is to use weedless lures like Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits to navigate the heavy cover. These reservoirs can get busy, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week or early in the morning for a quieter experience. The bass population is healthy, with opportunities for catching both quantity and quality fish.
