Beaver Pond Fishing Guide, Placentia, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Beaver Pond is set in Placentia, Newfoundland and Labrador. Height above sea level is 62 metres. At roughly 2 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Placentia. You are 6.3 km from Placentia. St. John's sits 106 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Placentia records list American eel, Arctic charr, Atlantic sturgeon and brook trout among the fish reported. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Beaver Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -5°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Open water usually runs from late April until about late December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Beaver Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Dry Pond is 2.2 km off. Check the position at Beaver Pond before loading the car.
