Barasway Gull Pond, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Barasway Gull Pond stands in English Harbour East, Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits 3.6 km in from the sea. About 7 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. For a base, Marystown sits 58 km out. Burin is 68 km away, with Harbour Breton at 72 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Barasway Gull Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for English Harbour East cover bull-rout. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Barasway Gull Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -6°C in February up to 16°C in August. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly mid December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. It sets the rhythm of the year at Barasway Gull Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Flat Hill Pond, 0.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Barasway Gull Pond as something to verify.
