Rocky Pond Fishing Guide, Clarenville, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Rocky Pond is listed under Clarenville, Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits in mixed forest country. The water measures roughly 6 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Clarenville list. Clarenville-Shoal Harbour at 8.5 km is the nearest place to stop. The big place round here is St. John's, 124 km distant. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Rocky Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Clarenville list Atlantic salmon and brook trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Treat Rocky Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August runs about 16°C on average, February about -7°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Rocky Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try First Pond, 0.8 km away. Check the current arrangement for Rocky Pond.
