Fishing at Lynx Pond, Port Blandford, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Lynx Pond is listed under Port Blandford, Newfoundland and Labrador. Elevation runs to 133 metres. Roughly 12 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Roughly 1.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Nearest place of any size is Clarenville-Shoal Harbour, 18 km away. St. John's is the closest city, 133 km away. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lynx Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Port Blandford include Atlantic salmon, brook trout and bull-rout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Anyone new to Lynx Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -7°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan any trip to Lynx Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Gull Pond, 1.8 km out. Confirm before you fish Lynx Pond.
