Master Noels Pond near Victoria: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Master Noels Pond falls in Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove, part of Newfoundland and Labrador. The bank gives way to pine and birch. Small at around 3 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove. Head to Victoria, 18 km away, for anything you forgot. After that come Carbonear at 20 km and Harbour Grace at 26 km. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Master Noels Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish Master Noels Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep. A steady ripple beats flat calm on most days.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between February at about -6°C and August at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Ice clears near late April and comes back about mid December in a typical year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan any trip to Master Noels Pond around it.
