Washing Tub Pond in Garnish: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Washing Tub Pond lies within the bounds of Garnish, Newfoundland and Labrador. The sea is 3.5 km distant. Around 14 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. A shoreline of some 1.9 km keeps the choices simple. It is low-lying compared with other Newfoundland and Labrador water we list. Marystown is the closest town at 13 km. St. John's is the closest city, 197 km away. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Washing Tub Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The near bank of Washing Tub Pond is often the one people ignore. Where the wind piles up, so does the food.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between February at about -5°C and August at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about late December in a typical year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Expect Washing Tub Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, George Legges Pond is 0.8 km distant. None of that is settled for Washing Tub Pond in what we hold.
