Hannan Lake Fishing in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Western Australia

  Hannan Lake lies in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, in Western Australia. It stands 324 metres above sea level. Boulder sits 7.6 km from here and is the nearest stop. It is 552 km to Perth, the nearest city.

• Where to Fish on Hannan Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Hannan Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. The quiet end repays the extra walk.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 11°C to 26°C. Winter is simply the pleasant end of an unbroken season. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish the early and late hours. Early spring brings the water on quickly here. Hannan Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out. A settled week fishes better than a changeable one.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Look for a notice board at the entrance. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lake Perkolilli sits 34 km off and takes the overflow. Signs at Hannan Lake carry more weight than any list.
