Fishing Ansteys Third Pond in Jackson's Arm, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Ansteys Third Pond is set in Jackson's Arm, Newfoundland and Labrador. The country here is rolling bush. It runs to roughly 21 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. About 3.0 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. The nearest town is Baie Verte, 54 km away. After that come Springdale at 62 km and Deer Lake at 74 km. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Ansteys Third Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. At Ansteys Third Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -9°C in February and 15°C in July. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near early December in autumn. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. At Ansteys Third Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Ansteys Fourth Pond at 1.7 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Ansteys Third Pond is worth confirming on the day.
