definitely keep Fido out of MoCo's Lake Needwood and Lake Frank and in all likelihood the ponds at the City of Rockville's Red Gate Park

Idk about Redgate ponds, but you have a better chance catching a sasquatch than a bass at Needwood right now.

Did catch a couple one day in the spring, but very dead there last couple months.

What would you tie on for that? Hmmm. Half an elk? That would be some Spey cast!

For the hell of it checked out Redgate today. No bluegill, no bass, no bigfoot, two turtles.

Water was pretty gross, but not a bad place to practice your double haul actually. Kind of like two casting ponds.
Lots of space.

The pond in the Northwest corner of the course is a little less gruesome, Tom, did you get to see it?
Watch out for the goose guano.

There's lots of heavy grass and other plants growing and it looks like a place deer have been bedding down. Be sure to check for ticks.

I was at Widewater and Burke Lake this past weekend on same day I was over at Redgate.  I have also visited Needwood on the same day as the others.  Bottom line is on days I am catching one fish after another including several nice bass at Burke and or Widewater, I am skunked at Needwood or Redgate.

I will take a look at that particular pond as I have reason to be in that area periodically, but certainly no reason to go out of our way when there are better options.

Photo attached is from Widewater middle of the day on Sunday.  Wasnt the only one....
