Mike, I grew up near Annapolis, in Severna Park and lived much of my adult life in Arnold. Public shore access is limited in that area. Sandy Point is one of those places where you can fly fish, but you could fish there often with little success. I used to do some bait fishing there, and caught some fish, and had poor results with fly tackle. It's not to say, you will have poor results, but no guarantee's you'll do well. You could also try Jonas Green Park, which is at the bridge where RT 450 crosses the Severn to Annapolis. Again, another place where flinging flies is not the best approach, but possible to have some success. I've caught perch, Pickerel, and small Stripers there. Most of the fishing I did was on the Eastern Shore, and I fished from a boat the majority of the time. You could also try the Patuxent River. Which is a short drive from Annapolis. I used to fish at Governor's Bridge fairly often and that was shore and some wade fishing. Not an easy place to fish because of tree's and other vegetation, but fly fishing there is doable. If the waters clear enough, wading some places is possible, but be very careful. There's a lot of submerged snags and mud on the bottom. It's very easy to get tripped up and fall. However, with all the rain that the area has endured recently, I suspect that most of the rivers there are very high & muddy so will be very dangerous to attempt to fish. Can't help you with Thomas Point, just do not know the answer to your question. I used to travel across the bay bridge and fish Wye Pond with fly gear. There's a earthen dam and spillway, and I caught plenty of fish, although most were small panfish. The occasional bass or Pickerel made it interesting. I used a 6 wt or lighter rod there most of the time or ultra light spinning tackle. The rest of the time, I fished in the Dorchester Co area waters, and that was best from a boat of some type.
