• Where to Fish on Lake Warrandirinna

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On Lake Warrandirinna the obvious spot is not always the productive one. Read the water for ten minutes before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 31°C in January and bottom out at 13°C in July. Nothing shuts down for cold, so the question is when in the day to go. Spring, September into November, and autumn, March into May, are the strong stretches. October and November fish well as the water warms. Anyone fishing Lake Warrandirinna regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lake Pantoowarinna at 21 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Lake Warrandirinna.
