Johnson's Pond
Johnson's Pond is 104 acres in size making it the largest impoundment on the Eastern Shore. There are many underwater logs, stumps, and aquatic vegetation. The pond is a Trophy Bass Management Area. Due to those regulations the pond provides wonderful bass and bluegill fishing. In the main pool of the pond there are Christmas tree fish "attractors". These are artificial reefs that provide shelter for fish. These reefs also group fish together to provide angling success. You can only reach these reefs with a boat.

Salisbury Park
The Salisbury City Park provides a great place to go fishing. You can fish right from the walking paths or venture through the woods. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources stocks the park annually with trout. You can find the stocking schedule here. Wicomico County also holds a youth fishing derby at the Salisbury Park. You can get more information about the derby here.
