Angle Pond Fishing in Bird Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Angle Pond is one of the Bird Cove waters in Newfoundland and Labrador. The coast is 6.5 km away. It measures some 2.51 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. The perimeter runs near 14 km, so plan the walk before you start. On size it sits at the modest end of our Bird Cove list. For supplies, St. Anthony is 81 km out. Saint-Augustin lies 136 km off, Baie Verte another 138 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Angle Pond

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Bird Cove, recorded fish include rainbow smelt, American eel and Atlantic salmon. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Anyone new to Angle Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical August readings run about 14°C; by February the average is down near -11°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. On average, early May opens the water and late November closes it again. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Angle Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Ten Mile Lake is 3.7 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Angle Pond for certain.
