It is a small entry by Brewarrina standards. Supplies mean a trip to Lightning Ridge, 74 km off. Brewarrina is 114 km and Walgett 132 km. Others worth noting: Diemunga Lagoon within 36 km and Angledool Lake after 55 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Fowlers Lagoon

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Flats either side fish on the drop as bait is pushed off them. Reed and marsh margins hold fish through the moving hours. Fowlers Lagoon fishes better once you know its edges. Colour after rain pulls fish into the margins.

• Seasonal Patterns

  January runs about 29°C on average, July about 12°C. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. Winter here is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time out. Spring, September into November, fishes hardest, with autumn a close second. Plan any trip to Fowlers Lagoon around it.
