Brown Ridge Pond near Burin: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lewin's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador, is where Brown Ridge Pond sits. It sits 11 km in from the sea. It runs to roughly 85 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Around 3.8 km of margin, front to back. Size puts it in the front rank of our Lewin's Cove list. Burin lies 13 km from the water. Beyond it, St. Lawrence at 16 km and Marystown at 20 km. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Eastern Rocky Ridge Pond, 1.4 km away. Ask locally about Brown Ridge Pond if anything is unclear.
