Triangle Pond near Whitbourne: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Triangle Pond in Long Harbour-Mount Arlington Heights, Newfoundland and Labrador. It lies 98 metres above sea level. It measures about 18 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Shoreline comes to about 3.1 km, small enough to learn in a day. You are 23 km from Whitbourne. St. John's sits 85 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Triangle Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Long Harbour-Mount Arlington Heights list Arctic charr, Atlantic salmon, brook trout and rainbow smelt. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Triangle Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -5°C to 16°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near late December: that is the shape of an average year. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan any trip to Triangle Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Georges Pond, 1.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Triangle Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
