Surface area runs to about 7 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Marystown is the closest place, 50 km off. Further out sit Burin (60 km) and Placentia (74 km). The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Trout Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Reported across St. Bernard's-Jacques Fontaine: Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon and brook trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Trout Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while February sits near -6°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around mid December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Anyone fishing Trout Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Loo Pond, 1 km away. Rules at Trout Pond are worth checking on the day.
