Camp Pond near Clarenville-Shoal Harbour: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Camp Pond is listed under Clarenville, Newfoundland and Labrador. It lies 133 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 9 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Head to Clarenville-Shoal Harbour, 14 km away, for anything you forgot. Clarenville lies 15 km off, Glovertown another 48 km. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Camp Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Clarenville names Atlantic salmon and brook trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Treat Camp Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -7°C for February. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. From about late April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Expect Camp Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. 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. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Terrances Pond sits 2.1 km off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Camp Pond as something to verify.
