Warfields Pond, Maryland: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Warfields Pond lies in Howard County, Maryland. Elevation runs to 538 feet. About 4 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Howard County are larger. Some 7.3 miles away sits Sykesville, the nearest settlement. Then Highland, 7.5 miles, and Ashton-Sandy Spring, 8.7 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Warfields Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Across Howard County, recorded fish include bluegill, green sunfish, largemouth bass and redbreast sunfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Warfields Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 75°F; the cold one sits at 31°F. The season stretches long at both ends here. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. On Warfields Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Bernstein Farm Pond sits 1.8 miles off and takes the overflow. The position on Warfields Pond is worth confirming on the day.
