Fishing near Teaneck, New Jersey

Teaneck is Bergen County through and through, New Jersey side. Its population sits near 40,078. From the door outwards: Cooper Pond barely 2.4 miles, Indian Lake barely 3.0 miles to the south with Duck Pond barely 5.9 miles. Duck Pond is held water: deepest at the wall, shallowing back to the inflow. Engineering, not nature, shaped most of these. Wind decides which side is worth your time. Ice here is the exception, not the rule. In milder years there is nothing to walk on at all. Closest is Cooper Pond at around 3 acres of water. Parking is recorded at Cooper Pond. Across Bergen County, recorded fish include bluegill, pumpkinseed, brown trout and largemouth bass. Nothing on this list needs a long day to do properly. Two counties share this ground, so check which set of rules applies. Start with Cooper Pond and work down the list as the season goes on....
