Long Pond Fishing Guide, Trinity Bay North, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Trinity Bay North, Newfoundland and Labrador, is where Long Pond sits. The country here is mixed forest. Surface area is around 22 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The whole outline is near 4.1 km, and most of it is walkable. Trinity Bay North is the closest town at 3.3 km. St. John's sits 110 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 Long Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. 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. On Long Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. Marks on the bank tell you where others have fished.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -6°C to 15°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly mid December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. At Long Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Nolan Pond is 4.1 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Long Pond for certain.
