Clampwood Pond, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Clampwood Pond sits within St. Bernard's-Jacques Fontaine in Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits at 148 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 28 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The full circuit measures close to 2.8 km on foot. Marystown sits 49 km from the bank. For a city, St. John's is 155 km off. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Clampwood Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across St. Bernard's-Jacques Fontaine, recorded fish include Atlantic salmon and brook trout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Clampwood Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in August and bottom out at -6°C in February. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around mid December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Expect Clampwood Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Horn Hill Pond at 1.9 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Clampwood Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
