Fishing Eastern Pond in Main Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  The Main Brook end of Newfoundland and Labrador holds Eastern Pond. It stands 6 metres above sea level. Around 49 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Around 4.2 km of margin, front to back. On size it sits at the modest end of our Main Brook list. You are 44 km from St. Anthony. It is 462 km to St. John's, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Eastern Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish Eastern Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep. A change of depth of a foot can change the day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 14°C; the cold one sits at -11°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Anyone fishing Eastern Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. First Salmon Pond sits 5.7 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Eastern Pond in what we hold.
