Angle Pond in Sally's Cove: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Angle Pond is a Sally's Cove water, in Newfoundland and Labrador. The sea is 5.7 km distant. The water measures roughly 4 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Sally's Cove. Deer Lake sits 66 km from here and is the nearest stop. Sydney is the closest city, 431 km away. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Angle Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. At Angle Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach. If a spot has produced once, it will produce again in similar conditions.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -9°C to 15°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan around that when you fish Angle Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Island Pond is 2 km off. Treat access at Angle Pond as something to verify.
