• Where to Fish on Cedarville Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Public occurrence data for Charles County names blue catfish, blueback herring, alewife, largemouth bass and bluegill. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Cedarville Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 76°F in July and bottom out at 34°F in January. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Cedarville Pond fishes to that pattern most years.
