Lynx Pond Fishing Guide, Howley, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Howley in Newfoundland and Labrador is where Lynx Pond sits. The ground round it is lake country bush. It measures about 39 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Howley. For supplies, Deer Lake is 33 km out. The nearest city of size is St. John's, 373 km away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lynx Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Treat Lynx Pond as a water to read rather than to cover. Look for colour changes in the water and fish the seam between them.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -9°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near early December in autumn. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Anyone fishing Lynx Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Sandy Lake at 6.1 km is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Lynx Pond.
