Twin Ponds Fishing Guide, Glenwood, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Twin Ponds falls in Glenwood, part of Newfoundland and Labrador. It stands 61 metres above sea level. At 1.11 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. Shoreline length is close to 13 km, and each section fishes a little differently. Our Glenwood list holds plenty of bigger water. Lewisporte is the closest town at 24 km. St. John's is the closest city, 232 km away. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Twin Ponds

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Glenwood, recorded fish include Arctic charr and brook trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Twin Ponds the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in July and bottom out at -8°C in February. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near early December: that is the shape of an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Twin Ponds rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Island Pond, 3.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Twin Ponds are worth checking on the day.
