Lake Brearley, Western Australia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Brearley falls in Belmont, part of Western Australia. Elevation runs to 21 metres. About 9 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Rivervale is the closest place, 1 km off. The big place round here is Perth, 4 km distant. What else is close: Lake Bungana within 0.4 km, 3.9 km out stands Tomato Lake Monger within 7.9 km, 9.2 km out stands Jolimont Lake and Emu Lake within 12 km. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Lake Brearley

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover common carp, flathead grey mullet, goldfish, pearl eartheater and nightfish. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Take Lake Brearley a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 25°C at the top of summer and 14°C at the bottom of winter. Heat, not cold, decides when to be on the water. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish early and late. Lake Brearley runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. A slipway 420 m out gives trailer access. Parking within 220 m means no long carry with tackle. There is a pier recorded roughly 570 m away. Toilets show in mapping about 270 m away. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Lake Bungana at 0.4 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Lake Brearley for certain.
