Fourth Pond Northwest, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Fourth Pond Northwest falls in Centreville-Wareham-Trinity, part of Newfoundland and Labrador. The coast is 11 km away. This is sizeable water at about 1.48 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The shoreline runs about 9.6 km, so it pays to pick a stretch and stay with it. For supplies, Centreville-Wareham-Trinity is 10 km out. Then Gambo, 29 km, and Glovertown, 37 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Fourth Pond Northwest

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Centreville-Wareham-Trinity cover American eel. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Fish Fourth Pond Northwest where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -8°C in February up to 16°C in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly early December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Time your trip to Fourth Pond Northwest by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Fourth Pond, 3.8 km away. Treat Fourth Pond Northwest as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
