Eastern Tilt Hill Pond Fishing near St. Lawrence, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Eastern Tilt Hill Pond is a St. Lawrence water, in Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits in lake country bush. The water covers some 16 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. About 1.6 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. St. Lawrence sits 11 km from the bank. St. John's sits 211 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Eastern Tilt Hill Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. St. Lawrence records list brook trout and bull-rout among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Eastern Tilt Hill Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -6°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. The open-water window runs from around late April to about mid December in an average year. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. At Eastern Tilt Hill Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Peninsula Pond, 1 km out.
