Tim Millers Pond Fishing Guide, New Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  You will find Tim Millers Pond in New Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador. Elevation runs to 133 metres. The water covers some 92 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. With 6.4 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. It ranks high for size among our New Perlican listings. Victoria lies 17 km from the water. Further out sit Carbonear (20 km) and Harbour Grace (26 km). Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Tim Millers Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in New Perlican include American eel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Anyone new to Tim Millers Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 15°C at the top of summer and -6°C at the bottom of winter. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about mid December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Tim Millers Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, 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 is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. First Round Pond sits 1.3 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Tim Millers Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
