Kikupegh Pond, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Newfoundland and Labrador holds Kikupegh Pond, in Milltown-Head of Bay d'Espoir. Salt water lies 32 km off. This is sizeable water at about 9.00 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. There is roughly 33 km of bank, and each arm behaves like its own water. The closest town, St. Alban's, is 38 km away. St. John's sits 260 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Kikupegh Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The near bank of Kikupegh Pond is often the one people ignore. Sudden pressure changes tend to shut fish down for a few hours.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -8°C in February up to 16°C in August. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about early December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Kikupegh Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Godaleich Pond is 5.3 km distant. For Kikupegh Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
