Fishing Little Pitts Pond in Terra Nova, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Little Pitts Pond is set in Terra Nova, Newfoundland and Labrador. It stands 93 metres above sea level. The water covers some 10 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Our Terra Nova list holds plenty of bigger water. The closest town, Glovertown, is 25 km away. Gambo follows at 32 km, then Clarenville-Shoal Harbour at 40 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Little Pitts Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Terra Nova include Atlantic salmon, brook trout and Arctic charr. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. The shape of Little Pitts Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -7°C in February up to 16°C in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about early December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Little Pitts Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try First Pond, 2 km away.
