Fishing Burnt Berry Pond in King's Point, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Set in King's Point, Newfoundland and Labrador, this is Burnt Berry Pond. The setting is rolling bush. This is sizeable water at about 1.64 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. With 12 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. The nearest place of any size is Springdale, 11 km away. The big place round here is St. John's, 332 km distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Burnt Berry Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in King's Point include Atlantic salmon and bull-rout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Burnt Berry Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between February at about -9°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about early December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Time your trip to Burnt Berry Pond by conditions rather than dates.
