Greenwood Pond, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Greenwood Pond is one of the Glenwood waters in Newfoundland and Labrador. The water sits 130 metres up. The water covers some 63 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. About 3.9 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Most waters listed here for Glenwood are larger. Head to Bishop's Falls, 45 km away, for anything you forgot. It is 222 km to St. John's, the nearest city. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Greenwood Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Glenwood, recorded fish include Arctic charr and brook trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Greenwood Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -8°C to 16°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Time your trip to Greenwood Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Birch Pond at 3.1 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Greenwood Pond.
