Fishing at Taylors Pond, Howley, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Taylors Pond sits within Howley in Newfoundland and Labrador. Tidal water begins 23 km from here. Roughly 1.05 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. Around 6.0 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. For a base, Springdale sits 52 km out. Deer Lake lies 54 km off, Pasadena another 72 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Taylors Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On Taylors Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one. Weed beds hold food, and food holds fish.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -10°C for February. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Taylors Pond.

• Tackle & Baits
