Terrenceville Barasway in English Harbour East: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Terrenceville Barasway is an English Harbour East water, Newfoundland and Labrador side. What surrounds it is rolling bush. The water covers around 1.71 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. It ranks high for size among our English Harbour East listings. Marystown is the closest place, 65 km off. It is 151 km to St. John's, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Terrenceville Barasway

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for English Harbour East cover Atlantic cod and bull-rout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Terrenceville Barasway gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -6°C to 16°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near mid December: that is the shape of an average year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on Terrenceville Barasway.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. The nearest alternative is Hay House Pond, 1.4 km out. The position on Terrenceville Barasway is worth confirming on the day.
