• Where to Fish on Northwest Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On Northwest Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session. Where reeds break, there is usually a route in for fish.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 16°C at the top of summer and -6°C at the bottom of winter. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate figures give an open season running late April to mid December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Northwest Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Kelp Shade Pond at 2.6 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Northwest Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
