Good trouting spots close by
newf1982
Not fly fishing, but the standard baited worm stuff.

lots of smaller fish.
I was up the Southern Shore yesterday and we caught 15 small trouts in
two different by the road ponds.
I heard the largest brown trout was caught in Witless Bay.
The Lower Pond in Witless Bay Newfoundland, has been home to some of
the biggest sea-run brown trout caught in Canada over the past 50
years. Since the 60’s there has been trophy fish landed upwards 26
pounds.

I have a fantastic spot about an hours' drive from the city, but it's a very
tough walk and very few people who make their first trip ever go back for a
second. The fishing is so good because so few people ever go there. I have a
few pics from one of last years' trips on my facebook page if you're
interested.

there but have only managed to catch tiny trout and eels.
Can anyone tell me the licencing requirements are for this area. Everyone
tells me that I dont need one for trouting. Even the youngsters in the
Witless Bay Visitor Information centre told me the same.
Thanks

I think - if you are from out of province you only need a trouting
permit if you are trouting in one of the National Parks (Terra Nova
etc).

-------------------
Salmon:
Non-resident guide requirements
Island of Newfoundland and Labrador south of 52°N
To fish scheduled salmon waters, a nonresident must be accompanied by a
licensed guide or by a direct relative who is a resident of the province. A
non-resident may fish unaccompanied on non-scheduled waters within 800
metres of a provincial highway.
Trouting:
Licence requirements
Non-resident trout anglers must have a separate trout licence to retain
Brook trout caught while fishing scheduled waters, and to fish for Arctic
char, northern pike, and landlocked salmon on both scheduled and unscheduled
waters. These trout licences are widely available.

Cheers,
David.

through the wilderness while trouting. Always looking for good spots
to go fishing. Any chance I could get some directions?
As well, when you say it's a fantastic spot, to you mean size or fish,
quantity of fish, or both?

have never caught less than our limit. Often you can have your limit by 7:00
am; we simply catch-and-release after that until all our bait is gone. You
could walk out of there with 100+ trout if you wanted to, but if everybody
did that the ponds would quickly be fished out. I believe in conservation.
Size: I'll call them "good pan-size". Not huge, but nothing tiny either. I
know a lot of guys who keep everything they catch, regardless of size, just
so they can brag about their totals. I always throw the smaller ones back.
The fish are so plentiful, you can afford to be picky for your dozen. We
have, on occasion, caught a few in the 1-lb. range
Location: Let's just say it's somewhere off the Argentia Access Road, on the
opposite side of "Mickey's Gullies", a personal favorite in the winter for
nearly 30 years. Go onto Google Earth for a better idea.
Hope tis was helpful.
PS to newf1982: There are several "newf1982s" on facebook; wasn't sure which
one was you, so I didn't know who ask (I think it was the one with the
dolphin pic). Might be easier for you to look me up instead.

I don't know but if you need to ask it's most likely not.

If you're referring to the river that runs past the Waterford
hospital, I would have to say no. That river system runs through Mount
Pearl, and I've seen A LOT of crap lying/ dumped into that water.

All I've ever seen in the Waterford river is brown trout which are
horrible eating coming from any river/pond.
I was once told that if the fish can survive in it's habitat then it's
safe to eat. Whether that's true or not I don't know.
