I am not overly fond of park lakes/ponds to go fishing but there is something nice about Echo Lake. There are plenty of spots for bank fishing and plenty of fish as well. A trail that goes around the lake allows for accessible bank fishing. There is plenty of nature to take in while fishing/hiking. The only knock: some spots have low hanging branches or tight spots to effectively cast your line.
This pond has Bass, Bluegill, Crappie, and much more to discover! It’s a great fishing zone to say the least. The best thing I’ve found is to use live worms like night crawlers attached to very small hooks or a jig head. If you’re in the right spot, you’ll be catching fish here in no time.
