Flemmings Pond Fishing Guide, Old Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Flemmings Pond belongs to Old Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador. Around the bank it is mixed forest. It covers about 5 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. For supplies, Pouch Cove is 41 km out. Victoria lies 44 km off, Carbonear another 46 km. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Flemmings Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name Atlantic cod, polar cod, capelin and bull-rout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Work Flemmings Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between February at about -5°C and August at about 15°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Flemmings Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Daniels Cove Long Pond, 0.4 km away. For Flemmings Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
