Peters Pond near Bishop's Falls: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Set in Peterview, Newfoundland and Labrador, this is Peters Pond. It sits in mixed forest. At some 1.17 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. Some 9.7 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Newfoundland and Labrador listings. Head to Bishop's Falls, 8.3 km away, for anything you forgot. Botwood is 9.6 km and Grand Falls-Windsor 24 km. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Peters Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read Peters Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. Cast along the margin rather than straight out from it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -9°C to 17°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That shapes the year on Peters Pond.
