I'm new here, too, so instead of creating another thread, I'll ask the same thing. [

I'm looking for places around BWI Airport to fish. A friend recently got me into fly fishing, so I know about the streams and rivers in the area for trout. But I'm looking for ponds and small lakes that are, um, off the beaten path (i.e. not some state park where you run into 100 people) -- spin cast, fly cast, doesn't matter as long as there's fish! Mainly interested in "sport" fish -- bass, crappie, trout, etc -- and not bottom feeders. Ha ha! No boat, so good places from shore are a must.
I ride the MARC train for work and have seen some ponds just off the tracks north of Bowie State University. Has anybody ever tried those? I drove through there and the one road that I could find on campus has an "Authorized vehicles only" sign.
Plug these coordinates into Google Earth or some mapping site: 39° 1'35.29"N 76°45'13.09"W
There are also these ponds north of BWI that I found poking around Google Earth: 39°13'20.64"N 76°40'39.00"W
