Round Pond Fishing Guide, Carmanville, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Newfoundland and Labrador holds Round Pond, in Carmanville. Elevation runs to 58 metres. At about 95 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The edge runs 4.9 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. Our Carmanville list holds plenty of bigger water. Gander sits 44 km from here and is the nearest stop. Then Fogo Island, 47 km, and Twillingate, 47 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Round Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The shape of Round Pond decides where the fish sit. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and February about -8°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan around that when you fish Round Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Island Pond, 4.8 km away. For Round Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
