Three Island Pond, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Three Island Pond is one of the Colliers listings for Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits in mixed forest. It runs to roughly 20 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. A shoreline of some 2.4 km keeps the choices simple. Harbour Main-Chapel's Cove-Lakeview lies 7.3 km from the water. After that come Clarke's Beach at 11 km and Holyrood at 12 km. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Three Island Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Three Island Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics. Bright light pushes fish tight to whatever cover exists.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 16°C, with February the cold end at about -5°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. The season on Three Island Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Expect 1.4 km away in from where the car goes. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Bedlam Pond at 1.9 km is the sensible second choice. Rules at Three Island Pond are worth checking on the day.
