Redwood Lake in Charles County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Look for Redwood Lake in the Charles County part of Maryland. This is open valley ground. Small at around 2 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Most waters listed here for Charles County are larger. For a base, La Plata sits 1.4 miles out. Beyond it, Saint Charles at 6.1 miles and St. Charles at 6.5 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Redwood Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Public occurrence data for Charles County names blue catfish, blueback herring and alewife. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. At Redwood Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 34°F in January up to 77°F in July. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. The season on Redwood Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Gilbert Run Lake at 5.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Redwood Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
