Rushy Pond Fishing in Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Rushy Pond is a Grand Falls-Windsor water, Newfoundland and Labrador side. The water sits 67 metres up. The water covers around 2.69 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Around 7.3 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. Grand Falls-Windsor lies 4.1 km from the water. Bishop's Falls is 19 km and Botwood 35 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Rushy Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Grand Falls-Windsor records list Atlantic salmon, American eel and brook trout among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Rushy Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -9°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan any trip to Rushy Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. You can launch: the ramp is 740 m away. Parking sits 750 m out, which makes for a walk with tackle. A platform or pier sits within 600 m. A campsite lies 760 m away for anyone staying over. This sits inside Beothuck Provincial Park, so read the reserve notices first. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lemotte's Lake at 6.1 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Rushy Pond.
