Murrays Pond Fishing near Whitbourne, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Look for Murrays Pond in Colinet, Newfoundland and Labrador. The country here is rolling bush. The water covers some 32 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Roughly 3.9 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Few waters listed in Colinet are bigger. You are 22 km from Whitbourne. Placentia is 34 km and Holyrood 34 km. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Murrays Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Colinet cover brook trout, brown trout and American eel. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Treat Murrays Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical August readings run about 16°C; by February the average is down near -4°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around late December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Murrays Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. A pier or jetty stands 930 m away, which helps on a crowded bank. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Rocky Pond at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Murrays Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
