Point Lake Fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  You will find Point Lake in Newfoundland and Labrador. The bank gives way to taiga. The water covers around 6.59 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. There is roughly 36 km of bank, and each arm behaves like its own water. It is high ground by Newfoundland and Labrador standards. Labrador City lies 174 km from the water. It is 753 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Point Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Work Point Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it. A drop in wind often turns the surface quiet and the fishing slow.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -24°C in January and 12°C in July. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. After late May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Averages place the thaw at late May and the freeze at late October. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. At Point Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Sawyer Lake, 4.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for Point Lake in what we hold.
