Steady rain over the water today, with enough WNW wind to stack food downwind with the barometer flat. The water to cover at Mica Pond is any feature that breaks the open water. A hard day on paper; the night edges the rest. Scale down and fish slowly. A cold snap day, so work the warmest water you can find.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, Mica Pond falls inside St. George's. Tidal water begins 28 km from here. Roughly 1.77 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. The outline measures near 6.6 km, so local knowledge counts. The closest town, St. George's, is 27 km away. Stephenville Crossing is 34 km and Bay St. George South 37 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.
Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Take Mica Pond a stretch at a time. The same spot fishes differently at either end of the day.
On the long-term average, July reads 15°C and February reads -9°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. On Mica Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Shop Gulch Pond is 4.1 km off. For Mica Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
