Nippers Harbour Pond Fishing Guide, Burlington, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Out in Burlington, Newfoundland and Labrador, sits Nippers Harbour Pond. Everything around it is lake country bush. With some 28 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. A shoreline of some 4.7 km keeps the choices simple. Baie Verte lies 23 km from the water. Then Springdale, 39 km, and Twillingate, 84 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Nippers Harbour Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Treat Nippers Harbour Pond as a water to read rather than to cover. Shallow bays warm first and pull fish in early.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -9°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. From about early May to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. It holds true on Nippers Harbour Pond more years than not.
