Lake Burkett Fishing Guide, Lake Grace, Western Australia

• Overview

  The Lake Grace end of Western Australia holds Lake Burkett. Height above sea level is 294 metres. The water covers around 3.03 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Shoreline length is close to 7.3 km, and each section fishes a little differently. Our Lake Grace list holds plenty of bigger water. Katanning sits 153 km from here and is the nearest stop. Beyond it, Wagin at 160 km and Narrogin at 175 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lake Burkett

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On Lake Burkett a short move beats a long cast. One feature fished properly beats five fished briefly.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, January reads 22°C and July reads 10°C. The whole calendar is open, with dawn and dusk the productive hours in summer. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. October and November fish well as the water warms. Lake Burkett fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Lake Buchan, 4.3 km away. Confirm access to Lake Burkett locally before you travel.
