Fishing at Cudoralcarra Lake, Moora, Western Australia

• Overview

  Cudoralcarra Lake lies in Moora, in Western Australia. This is warm bottomland country. It runs to roughly 52 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The bank runs about 2.5 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. The town to know is Moora, 3 km out. Bindoon is 85 km and Jurien Bay 97 km. Water in the same corner: Lake Dalaroo 2.1 km. No regional boundary comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Cudoralcarra Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read Cudoralcarra Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. Fish move shallower as the light drops.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year February sits at 26°C and July at 12°C. Heat, not cold, shapes the year here. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. Early spring brings the water on quickly here. Plan any trip to Cudoralcarra Lake around it. The week either side of a change of season often fishes hardest.
