Fishing provides physical, mental and societal benefits by connecting the participant to the outdoors which correlates with increased physical activity, general well-being, and the ability to focus. Fishing is mainly a seasonal program marketed through Marine Corps Installations websites which announce season openings, hours of operation, permit sales and areas where fishing is permitted. Outdoor Recreation Equipment Checkout Centers may have equipment available for rent and are located on Marine Corps Installations.

 

Getting there: The Fish Pond is close and easy to get to! Take Pless Road south off Miramar Way (just west of the Brig).

A few words of caution:
The Fish Pond is located near the west end of the runway. Departing aircraft, especially F/A-18 Hornets on take-off, can be very loud, very suddenly. You may wish to bring hearing protection. Please consider the effect of jet aircraft noise on very young children. MCAS Miramar is located in the desert, the natural habitat of several varieties of snakes. Please use caution, and don’t let your children wander though the brush above the pond.
