Fishing at Tobins Pond, Gambo, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Tobins Pond is a Gambo water, Newfoundland and Labrador side. The bank gives way to lake country bush. The water covers some 59 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. About 4.7 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Gambo is the closest place, 22 km off. For a city, St. John's is 194 km off. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Tobins Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Gambo cover Atlantic salmon, brook trout, Arctic charr and American eel. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Tobins Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, February about -8°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try John Collins Pond, 3.1 km away. Check the position on Tobins Pond before loading the car.
