• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -9°C to 16°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Upper Burnt Berry Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For salmon, swing spoons or flies through the moving water and mind the local method rules. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it.
