April 26 – Southern Tip of Triadelphia Reservoir

Crappie on the Triadelphia

Crappie on the Triadelphia

Summertime weather here in Maryland. It was 95 degrees in Frederick.  I was hoping to go out in the canoe with my wife, Sarah, but Bloomingdale’s was calling her name. So, I went down to my trusty Triadelphia Reservoir area but took a different entrance this time – way up on the southern end. The gate was locked but I climbed over it. There were a few cars at the gate so I didn’t feel like I was trespassing – too much.

The carp were in full force. I don’t know where they originally came from or how they survive, but they are there by the hundreds.  I had my shorts on and sneaks so I walked out into the shallow part of the water. I casted to them with no effect. But, when I went further down, I got several follow-ups by what appeared to be crappie. I caught several and took a photo of the largest.
