Bokan Lake, Western Australia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Narrogin, Bokan Lake is a Western Australia water. Everything around it is scrub and brush. The water covers some 43 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The closest town, Narrogin, is 33 km distant. Wagin is 39 km and Katanning 77 km. Close neighbours run: Billy Lake at 1 km, Ibis Lake just 1.7 km, Nomans Lake at 2.9 km, Lukin Lake just 3.7 km and Taarblin Lake at 4.9 km. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Bokan Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The near bank of Bokan Lake is often the one people ignore. Fish move up in low light and drop back as it brightens.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 23°C; the cold one sits at 10°C. Cold never becomes a factor on this one. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish the early and late hours. The wet months move levels about, which shifts the fishing with them. That shapes the year on Bokan Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records show it does not hold water year-round. Bokan Nature Reserve covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Billy Lake at 1 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Bokan Lake in what we hold.
