Lake Coomaroop Fishing Guide, Murray River, New South Wales

• Overview

  Out in Murray River, New South Wales, sits Lake Coomaroop. What surrounds it is open low country. The water covers around 2.47 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. On our Murray River list it sits near the top for size. For supplies, Swan Hill is 38 km out. Bendigo is the closest city, 209 km away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Lake Coomaroop

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. At Lake Coomaroop light and wind decide more than tackle does. The mouth of any inflow is worth an hour after rain.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give February about 24°C and July about 9°C. Winter is simply the pleasant end of an unbroken season. The shoulder seasons either side of summer are the ones to aim for. Spring, September into November, fishes hardest, with autumn a close second. Lake Coomaroop runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
