Fishing Northwest Pond in Rushoon, Newfoundland and Labrador

  Northwest Pond falls in Rushoon, part of Newfoundland and Labrador. The surface lies 90 metres up. It measures about 26 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The edge runs 3.1 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. Head to Marystown, 26 km away, for anything you forgot. Burin is 36 km and St. Lawrence 60 km.

• Where to Fish on Northwest Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Northwest Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics. Read the water for ten minutes before the first cast.
