Fishing Island Pond in Chance Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  In Newfoundland and Labrador, Island Pond falls inside Chance Cove. Elevation runs to 100 metres. Around 16 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Roughly 2.4 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Head to Whitbourne, 39 km away, for anything you forgot. Spaniard's Bay is 46 km away, with Bay Roberts at 48 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Island Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Take Island Pond a stretch at a time. After a blow, the windward bank is the one to try.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -5°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly mid December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Expect Island Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Little Harbour Gull Pond, 1.5 km out. Check the position on Island Pond before loading the car.
