Bare Bum Pond Fishing Guide, Garnish, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  You will find Bare Bum Pond in Garnish, Newfoundland and Labrador. The ground round it is pine and birch. The water measures roughly 5 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is low-lying compared with other Newfoundland and Labrador water we list. Marystown lies 16 km from the water. St. John's is the closest city, 200 km away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Bare Bum Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Salt or brackish and tidal: fish the flow, rest at slack, and watch the mud on a falling tide. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Garnish names Atlantic cod. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Bare Bum Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between February at about -5°C and August at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and late December closes it again. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. That is the shape of the year on Bare Bum Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Kerosene Oil Pond at 0.9 km is the sensible second choice. Rules at Bare Bum Pond are worth checking on the day.
