Damp, showery conditions today, with a faint S drift with the barometer flat. Fish at Blood Pond should hold close to the shaded bank through the bright hours. Make the evening the heart of the trip. Fish tidy and take what the day gives. The pre-winter feed makes autumn days generous.

You will find Blood Pond in Port Blandford, Newfoundland and Labrador. The bank is 136 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 8 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Supplies mean a trip to Clarenville-Shoal Harbour, 14 km off. Beyond it, Clarenville at 16 km and Glovertown at 42 km. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.
No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Public occurrence data for Port Blandford names Atlantic salmon, brook trout and bull-rout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The near bank of Blood Pond is often the one people ignore.
The year swings from about -7°C in February to roughly 16°C in July. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Anyone fishing Blood Pond regularly works to that calendar.
Our records carry no access rule either way. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Lois Lake, 1.6 km away. Treat access at Blood Pond as something to verify.
