Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Reported across Frederick County: bluegill, green sunfish, rainbow darter, greenside darter and longear sunfish. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Lehmans Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, High View Manor Lake is 1 mile off. Confirm before you fish Lehmans Pond.
