Lamberts Pond Fishing in Old Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Lamberts Pond is listed under Old Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador. Height above sea level is 101 metres. It covers about 6 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Start from Pouch Cove, 41 km down the road. The nearest city of size is St. John's, 63 km away. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Lamberts Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name Atlantic cod, polar cod, capelin and bull-rout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish Lamberts Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give August about 15°C and February about -5°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lamberts Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. 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. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Marchs Pond at 0.6 km is the nearest alternative. Rules at Lamberts Pond are worth checking on the day.
