About Oradell Reservoir
Oradell Reservoir, in New Jersey, United States, is the kind of reservoir where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Oradell Reservoir usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Black crappie
Vary your retrieve speed until you find what the crappie are responding to; sometimes slow and steady is best, other times a twitching action triggers strikes.
- For Yellow perch
When perch are finicky, downsize your bait or lure and use lighter line to increase your chances of getting a bite. Focus on areas near weed beds or drop-offs as they often hold schools of perch.
