Grassy Pond, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Within St. Bernard's-Jacques Fontaine, Newfoundland and Labrador, you have Grassy Pond. The coast is 5.4 km away. It covers about 8 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Marystown sits 44 km from here and is the nearest stop. After that come Burin at 54 km and Harbour Breton at 72 km. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Grassy Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. St. Bernard's-Jacques Fontaine records list Atlantic salmon and brook trout among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Grassy Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year August sits at 16°C and February at -6°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about mid December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Grassy Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Moose Pond, 0.5 km out. Treat access at Grassy Pond as something to verify.
