Fishing at Kings Pond, Bergen County, New Jersey

• Overview

  Kings Pond is set in Bergen County, New Jersey. Elevation runs to 466 feet. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. Our Bergen County list holds plenty of bigger water. You are 0.4 miles from Franklin Lakes. Wyckoff is 1.8 miles and Oakland 3 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Kings Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Bergen County include bluegill, pumpkinseed and brown trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Kings Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 73°F in July and bottom out at 28°F in January. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Time your trip to Kings Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Vitale Pond is 0.7 miles distant.
