Fish species in Todd Lake

Todd Lake is a reservoir in Bergen County, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Todd Lake, so those measurements should not be guessed.

What to Expect at Todd Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Todd Lake, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Todd Lake

Fish reported from Todd Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

Largemouth bass in Todd Lake can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For Todd Lake crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Todd Lake are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Todd Lake are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Chain Pickerel

Chain pickerel in Todd Lake can be found with spoons, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits along vegetation.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Todd Lake

Fish one section carefully enough to learn the productive depth before moving to a different part of the water on Todd Lake. Then compare the incoming-water end of Todd Lake with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Todd Lake

Early spring on Todd Lake calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Todd Lake anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on Todd Lake is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
