Nine Island Pond Fishing in Colliers, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Nine Island Pond lies in Colliers, in Newfoundland and Labrador. It stands 114 metres above sea level. At 1.61 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. The outline measures near 9.3 km, so local knowledge counts. It is the biggest water on our Colliers list. Harbour Main-Chapel's Cove-Lakeview at 9 km is the nearest place to stop. St. John's sits 45 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Nine Island Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. At Nine Island Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does. Look for the seam between clear and coloured water.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 16°C and February near -5°C on the long-run figures. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Expect Nine Island Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Three Island Pond is 3.1 km off. None of that is settled for Nine Island Pond in what we hold.
