Crossing Place Pond Fishing in Cow Head, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Crossing Place Pond falls in Cow Head, part of Newfoundland and Labrador. The country here is mixed forest. Roughly 55 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Some 6.0 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Newfoundland and Labrador listings. Deer Lake lies 70 km from the water. Then Pasadena, 84 km, and Irishtown-Summerside, 91 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Crossing Place Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Cow Head include American eel, brook trout and rainbow smelt. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Crossing Place Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 14°C, the coldest about -11°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid May. Ice clears near mid May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Anyone fishing Crossing Place Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Part of this sits inside or beside Parc national du Gros-Morne, so read the notices. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Side Camp Pond, 3.1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Crossing Place Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
