An even grey lid over the water, with just enough SSE wind to ripple the surface and pressure going nowhere. Start the search at Rocky Harbour Pond along gaps in the weed within a lob. Expectations low today; if anything moves, it will be in the night. Lower the pace and stay patient. The autumn feed-up is on; baitfish areas are the key.

Rocky Harbour Pond is listed under Norris Point, Newfoundland and Labrador. It lies 33 metres above sea level. The water covers around 1.16 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Shoreline length is close to 5.4 km, and each section fishes a little differently. By surface area it heads our Norris Point listings. The closest town, Deer Lake, is 55 km away. Pasadena lies 64 km off, Humber Arm South another 65 km. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.
Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The tide is the timetable on this water; two hours either side of the change usually fish hardest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Norris Point: Atlantic cod, brook trout and Pacific cod. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Rocky Harbour Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.
The seasonal spread runs -9°C to 15°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around early December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan around that when you fish Rocky Harbour Pond.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The nearest mapped parking is 680 m away, so the last stretch is on foot. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Narrows Pond, 4.7 km out. For Rocky Harbour Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
