• Where to Fish on Round Pond

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Parkers Cove list brook trout, Atlantic salmon, Atlantic cod and Atlantic herring. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Round Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -5°C in February to roughly 16°C in August. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly mid December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Round Pond.
