Fishing at Woody Island Pond, Lord's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Woody Island Pond is one of the Lord's Cove waters in Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits at 105 metres above sea level. Around 79 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The edge covers about 6.1 km, enough to hold several distinct areas. It is among the larger waters listed here for Lord's Cove. Grand Bank sits 16 km from the bank. Beyond it, Fortune at 18 km and St. Lawrence at 18 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Woody Island Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Woody Island Pond gives up more to patience than to distance. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put August near 16°C and February near -5°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. From about late April to around late December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Woody Island Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Moo Pond at 1.3 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Woody Island Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
