Fishing Lake Kopperamanna in South Australia, South Australia

• Overview

  Lake Kopperamanna is one of the South Australia listings for South Australia. Height above sea level is 4 metres. It measures some 4.23 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. With 9.3 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. Supplies mean a trip to Roxby Downs, 280 km off. After that come Coober Pedy at 385 km and Quorn at 423 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lake Kopperamanna

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish Lake Kopperamanna where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep. Approach from downwind so your line does not land ahead of you.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect January near 30°C and July near 12°C on the long-run figures. Fish feed through every month here. Winter here is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time out. October and November fish well as the water warms. It holds true on Lake Kopperamanna more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping flags this water as intermittent: it can be dry for part of the year, so check before travelling. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lake Yandiya sits 5.6 km off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Lake Kopperamanna as something to verify.
