About Loch Raven Reservoir

Set in Maryland, United States, Loch Raven Reservoir is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Loch Raven Reservoir usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Largemouth bass

    Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

  • For Chain pickerel

    Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs due to pickerel's sharp teeth, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what they're hitting.

  • For Bluegill

    Fish near structure like docks, weeds, or submerged trees where bluegill seek cover and food.
