Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass fishing in the Colmar Manor, Maryland area centers around the Anacostia River and its connecting waterways. While urban fishing presents its own challenges, the Anacostia holds a surprisingly healthy population of largemouth. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and riprap along the shoreline. Spring and fall offer the best opportunities, as bass move shallow to spawn and feed before winter. A local tip: target areas near the Bladensburg Waterfront Park, a popular access point. Be mindful of the current, which can be strong, especially after rainfall. The bass in this section of the Anacostia tend to be opportunistic feeders, so try a variety of lures and techniques. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective. Water clarity can vary greatly, so adjust your lure selection accordingly. Remember to obtain any required licenses and be aware of local fishing regulations.
