Goose Pond Fishing in Rushoon, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Goose Pond lies in Rushoon, Newfoundland and Labrador. The surroundings are rolling bush. It covers about 9 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Marystown sits 25 km from here and is the nearest stop. After that come Burin at 34 km and St. Lawrence at 59 km. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Goose Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Goose Pond fishes better once you know its edges. Note where you had the first touch and work back over it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -6°C to 16°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about mid December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. That shapes the year on Goose Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Northwest Pond is 1.1 km off. Nothing on Goose Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
