Fishing Loo Pond in Lord's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Loo Pond is one of the Lord's Cove listings for Newfoundland and Labrador. The country here is rolling bush. It measures about 26 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. About 3.4 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. For a base, St. Lawrence sits 16 km out. Grand Bank follows at 20 km, then Fortune at 22 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Loo Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Anyone new to Loo Pond should walk it once before setting up. There is enough indentation to find shelter on most days.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put August near 16°C and February near -5°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. It holds true on Loo Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Shellbird Pond, 1.5 km out. For Loo Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
