Mehrhof Pond, Little Ferry?

Someone posted here last month about catching a few nice bass at a pond in Little Ferry (I think). It may have been this place.

I think that was at Indian Lake, not sure!

A lot of information about this pond, just nothing about the fishing!

I do my fair share of exploring the Meadowlands and have seen this on Google Maps. Did not know it was opened to the public!

I contacted the Director of the Bergen Co. Utilities Authority.

He said that currently, the only access is to the bird watching blind and fishing is not allowed there.

I explained that if public fishing were allowed on other shorelines, by kayak, etc. that NJDF&W would survey it, stock it.

He responded: "I will look into that possibility and get back to you. Sounds like a good way to further enjoy this resource."

I am hopeful.

Growing up in Little Ferry, that pond was nicknamed shit lagoon since it was part of the utilities authority where all the untreated sewage goes.
