Lake Goonimur Fishing Guide, Murray River, New South Wales

• Overview

  You will find Lake Goonimur in Murray River, New South Wales. Scrub and brush runs right down to the water. Surface area is around 19 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Some 24 km away sits Swan Hill, the nearest settlement. The nearest city of size is Bendigo, 194 km away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Lake Goonimur

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Lake Goonimur repays a walk before the first cast. Swan Hill counts roughly 12,000 residents.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, February reads 24°C and July reads 9°C. Winter is simply the pleasant end of an unbroken season. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. At Lake Goonimur the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Lake Wollare at 1.4 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Lake Goonimur in what we hold.
