Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across St. Bernard's-Jacques Fontaine: Atlantic salmon and brook trout. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Treat Horn Hill Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Otter Pond sits 1.6 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Horn Hill Pond for certain.
