Middle Brook Pond near Victoria: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Middle Brook Pond lies in Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove, in Newfoundland and Labrador. The setting is mixed forest on every side. It measures about 23 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. With about 3.1 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. The nearest place of any size is Victoria, 19 km away. St. John's is the closest city, 52 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Middle Brook Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On Middle Brook Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 16°C and February near -6°C on the long-run figures. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about mid December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Time your trip to Middle Brook Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Bread and Butter Pond sits 1.1 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Middle Brook Pond for certain.
