Fishing Moores Pond in Bergen County, New Jersey

• Overview

  Moores Pond is listed under Bergen County, New Jersey. The coast is 10 miles away. About 3 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight.

Close by you also have: Canns Lake lies 1.6 miles on, Garrison Pond at 1.7 miles, Wyckoff Lake lies 1.7 miles on, Mill Pond at 1.8 miles and Mirror Lake lies 1.8 miles on. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Moores Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Open biodiversity records for Bergen County list bluegill, pumpkinseed, brown trout, largemouth bass and common carp. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. The shape of Moores Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 74°F at the top of summer and 28°F at the bottom of winter. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan around that when you fish Moores Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Canns Lake is 1.6 miles distant. Nothing on Moores Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
