Mare Pond Fishing in Red Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  You will find Mare Pond in Red Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador. The country here is pine and birch. At roughly 2 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. On size it sits at the modest end of our Red Harbour list. You are 22 km from Marystown. The nearest city of size is St. John's, 171 km away. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Mare Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read Mare Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. Sudden pressure changes tend to shut fish down for a few hours.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between February at about -5°C and August at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near mid December in autumn. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Mare Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Tides Hole Pond at 1.2 km is the sensible second choice. Rules at Mare Pond are worth checking on the day.
