Turks Gut Long Pond Fishing Guide, Colliers, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Set in Colliers, Turks Gut Long Pond is a Newfoundland and Labrador water. The ground round it is mixed forest. Surface area runs to roughly 1.03 sq km, so plan for one area rather than the whole.

Further out sit Harbour Main-Chapel's Cove-Lakeview (9.4 km) and Holyrood (14 km). It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.
