About Quidi Vidi Lake

Quidi Vidi Lake, in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Quidi Vidi Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Atlantic cod

    When using jigs, impart a strong vertical jigging action close to the sea floor, pausing occasionally to entice strikes.

  • For Brown trout

    When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

  • For Sea trout

    Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to on a given day; Sea trout can be picky.
