Berry Hill Pond Fishing near Burin, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Burin in Newfoundland and Labrador is where Berry Hill Pond sits. It sits 1.3 km in from the sea. This is a pocket water of some 10 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. There is roughly 1.5 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Supplies mean a trip to Burin, 0.4 km off. For a city, St. John's is 194 km off. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Berry Hill Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On Berry Hill Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session. Look for the seam between clear and coloured water.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -5°C to 16°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Break-up near mid April, freeze-up near late December: that is the shape of an average year. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Berry Hill Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Crab Pond, 2.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Berry Hill Pond before loading the car.
