Lake Supernmurra, South Australia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Supernmurra is one of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara waters in South Australia. It stands 297 metres above sea level. Around 92 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. On size it sits at the modest end of our Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara list. The closest town, Coober Pedy, is 286 km distant. The big place round here is Adelaide, 1028 km distant. Nearby, in order: Lake Antirripynancarinna (22 km). No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lake Supernmurra

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Work Lake Supernmurra in sections rather than trying to cover it. When the water is clear, go lighter and further out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 30°C; the cold one sits at 12°C. Fish feed through every month here. Winter here is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time out. The wet months move levels about, which shifts the fishing with them. Plan around that when you fish Lake Supernmurra.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Public mapping marks it as seasonal water rather than permanent. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Lake Antirripynancarinna, 22 km away. Signs at Lake Supernmurra carry more weight than any list.
