Blue Hill Pond Fishing Guide, Come By Chance, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Blue Hill Pond is listed under Come By Chance, Newfoundland and Labrador. The surface lies 83 metres up. It runs to roughly 11 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Shoreline comes to about 2.4 km, small enough to learn in a day. Clarenville is the closest place, 28 km off. The nearest city of size is St. John's, 88 km away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Blue Hill Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Come By Chance, recorded fish include brook trout, American eel, bull-rout and Atlantic hook-ear sculpin. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Blue Hill Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -6°C to 16°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near mid December in autumn. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Expect Blue Hill Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Davis Pond is 0.5 km off. What applies at Blue Hill Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
