Lost Pond Fishing in Buchans, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Lost Pond belongs to Buchans, Newfoundland and Labrador. The surface lies 316 metres up. At some 1.77 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. You are looking at roughly 12 km of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. On size it sits at the modest end of our Buchans list. For supplies, Pasadena is 83 km out. For a city, St. John's is 317 km off. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lost Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. 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. Survey and observation records for Buchans include Arctic charr. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lost Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 15°C, while February sits near -10°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. The season on Lost Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lake Ambrose sits 4.1 km off and takes the overflow. For Lost Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
