Transmission Pond, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Transmission Pond is one of the Pasadena listings for Newfoundland and Labrador. Elevation runs to 378 metres. The water covers some 58 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The full circuit measures close to 4.8 km on foot. Most waters listed here for Pasadena are larger. Pasadena lies 6.1 km from the water. Massey Drive is 18 km away, with Corner Brook at 21 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Transmission Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Pasadena records list Arctic charr, rainbow smelt and Atlantic tomcod among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Transmission Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between February at about -9°C and July at about 15°C, the water has a wide range to work through. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. On Transmission Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Little North Pond is 7.8 km off. Signs at Transmission Pond carry more weight than any list.
