Third Pond Fishing in Glovertown, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Third Pond sits in Glovertown, out in Newfoundland and Labrador. Salt water lies 8.1 km off. About 8 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Glovertown standards. The nearest town is Glovertown, 6.3 km away. The big place round here is St. John's, 164 km distant. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Third Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name American eel. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Work Third Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, February about -7°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Third Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Fourth Pond, 0.6 km away. Check the position on Third Pond before loading the car.
