Long Pond Fishing Guide, Garnish, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Look for Long Pond in the Garnish part of Newfoundland and Labrador. Height above sea level is 25 metres. Around 20 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Around 3.2 km of margin, front to back. It is among the larger waters listed here for Garnish. Marystown is the closest place, 16 km off. For a city, St. John's is 204 km off. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Long Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read Long Pond before you fish it and the day goes better. In coloured water, fish close in and use something they can find.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for August and -5°C for February. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around late December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. It holds true on Long Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Big Hill Pond at 1.5 km is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Long Pond.
