Treasures Pond in Centreville-Wareham-Trinity: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Treasures Pond falls in Centreville-Wareham-Trinity, part of Newfoundland and Labrador. This is rolling bush ground. At 1.01 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. At about 5.3 km of edge, most people work one arm at a time. 10 km away sits Centreville-Wareham-Trinity, the nearest town. Gambo is 25 km and Glovertown 30 km. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Treasures Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name American eel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Treasures Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and February at -8°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near early December: that is the shape of an average year. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That shapes the year on Treasures Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Johns Steady at 2.7 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Treasures Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
