Brotherhood Pond near Victoria: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  You will find Brotherhood Pond in Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador. Everything around it is mixed forest. The water covers some 17 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The full circuit measures close to 2.8 km on foot. Victoria is the closest town at 12 km. Then Carbonear, 15 km, and Harbour Grace, 21 km. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Brotherhood Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Brotherhood Pond gives up more to patience than to distance. Cover on the bank counts as much as cover below the surface.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while February sits near -6°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly mid December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Time your trip to Brotherhood Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Forked Pond at 1.1 km is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Brotherhood Pond as something to verify.
