Rose Lagoon Fishing in Goulburn Mulwaree, New South Wales

• Overview

  Rose Lagoon is one of the Goulburn Mulwaree waters in New South Wales. The surface lies 751 metres up. Around 81 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. It is high ground by New South Wales standards. The closest town, Goulburn, is 25 km distant. Gundaroo lies 28 km off, Bywong another 34 km. A regional boundary runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Rose Lagoon

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. At Rose Lagoon the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year January sits at 20°C and July at 6°C. Cold never closes this one. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish the early and late hours. Early spring brings the water on quickly here. Rose Lagoon runs to that rhythm year in and year out. A settled spell fishes better than a bright one.
