St. Anthony is 165 km and Baie Verte 204 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Le Rocky Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Open biodiversity records for Côte-Nord list logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Anyone new to Le Rocky Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put August at about 14°C and January near -13°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Count the season from break-up, usually mid May. Open water usually runs from mid May until about late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That shapes the year on Le Rocky Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Le Flat Pond sits 1.9 km off and takes the overflow. What applies at Le Rocky Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
