Fishing Taylors Pond in English Harbour East, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  The English Harbour East end of Newfoundland and Labrador holds Taylors Pond. The coast is 6.5 km away. Surface area is around 33 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. A shoreline of some 3.7 km keeps the choices simple. Start from Marystown, 64 km down the road. The nearest city of size is St. John's, 161 km away. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Taylors Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for English Harbour East include bull-rout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Work Taylors Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -7°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly mid December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Anyone fishing Taylors Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Crow Pond is 1.6 km off. Confirm access to Taylors Pond locally before you travel.
