Milleys Pond near Victoria: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Set in Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador, this is Milleys Pond. The sea is 6.9 km distant. It runs to roughly 18 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. About 2.1 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. You are 17 km from Victoria. The big place round here is St. John's, 51 km distant. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Milleys Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On Milleys Pond a short move beats a long cast. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give August about 16°C and February about -5°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at mid December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. That is the shape of the year on Milleys Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Barnes Pond, 1.2 km away. Check the current arrangement for Milleys Pond.
