Harvey Dam in Harvey: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Harvey Dam is a Harvey water, in Western Australia. The ground around here is warm bottomland. Roughly 1.13 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. The outline measures near 12 km, so local knowledge counts. It is a small entry by Harvey standards. Harvey sits 3.1 km from the bank. The nearest city of size is Mandurah, 65 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Harvey Dam

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Public wildlife records from this area list perch. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. Take Harvey Dam a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year February sits at 22°C and August at 12°C. The water stays warm and open throughout. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. March through May and September through November are the strong stretches. At Harvey Dam the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is a mapped slipway roughly 580 m away. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Lake Brockman at 8.8 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Harvey Dam should be assumed from this page alone.
