Round Pond near St. Anthony: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Round Pond is listed under St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador. Around the bank it is pine and birch. At 6 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by St. Anthony standards. Nearest town is St. Anthony, 9.2 km off. The big place round here is St. John's, 481 km distant. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Round Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Round Pond gives up more to patience than to distance. Keep your shadow off the water when the bank is high.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -11°C to 14°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid May. Ice clears near mid May and comes back about late November in a typical year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Round Pond.
