• Where to Fish on Saltwater Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Musgrave Harbour cover American eel and Atlantic salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The shape of Saltwater Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -8°C to 16°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near early December: that is the shape of an average year. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Time your trip to Saltwater Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Overnight stays are possible 480 m away. Salmon and sea-run fish answer to spoons and spinners where lure fishing is allowed; check the method rules first. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Upper Saltwater Pond, 3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. For Saltwater Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
