Morgans Pond Fishing Guide, Garnish, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Set in Garnish, Morgans Pond is a Newfoundland and Labrador water. The bank is 26 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 29 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. With about 4.1 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. On our Garnish list it sits near the top for size. Marystown is the closest town at 13 km. Burin is 17 km away, with St. Lawrence at 34 km. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Morgans Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The near bank of Morgans Pond is often the one people ignore. Watch where fish top and note the time of day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in August and bottom out at -5°C in February. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near late December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Morgans Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Little Round Pond sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Morgans Pond for certain.
