Fishing at Holloways Pond, Port Blandford, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Holloways Pond is one of the Port Blandford listings for Newfoundland and Labrador. The land about it is lake country bush. This is a pocket water of some 8 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Clarenville-Shoal Harbour at 24 km is the nearest place to stop. Then Clarenville, 25 km, and Glovertown, 41 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Holloways Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Port Blandford include Atlantic salmon, brook trout and bull-rout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Work Holloways Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in July and bottom out at -7°C in February. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The open-water window runs from around late April to about early December in an average year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. That shapes the year on Holloways Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Otter Pond sits 3.5 km off and takes the overflow. Signs at Holloways Pond carry more weight than any list.
