Island Pond Fishing in Fox Cove-Mortier, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Island Pond is set in Fox Cove-Mortier, Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits 3 km in from the sea. The water measures roughly 9 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. The closest town, Burin, is 4.1 km distant. Then Marystown, 8.2 km, and St. Lawrence, 28 km. Close by you have: 1 km away is Arthurs Pond, Long Pond after 1.7 km, 1.8 km away is Crab Pond, Deep Pond after 1.9 km and 2.7 km away is Long Cove Pond. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Island Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. County-wide records name Atlantic cod. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Island Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 16°C and February near -5°C on the long-run figures. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. At Island Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Arthurs Pond is 1 km off. Check the current arrangement for Island Pond.
