Fishing at Lake Kurrenkutten, Corrigin, Western Australia

• Overview

  Lake Kurrenkutten is one of the Corrigin waters in Western Australia. The bank gives way to scrub and brush. This is big water, about 12.00 sq km, and in a wind it behaves like a small sea. Some 18 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. The closest town, Merredin, is 89 km away. Beyond it, Narrogin at 112 km and York at 130 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of state rules.

• Where to Fish on Lake Kurrenkutten

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Lake Kurrenkutten responds to conditions more than to tactics. Weed beds hold food, and food holds fish.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect January near 24°C and July near 11°C on the long-run figures. Cold never shuts this water down; heat is the only limit. Season rules are a separate question. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. The shoulder seasons either side of summer are the ones to aim for. Time your trip to Lake Kurrenkutten by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Unnamed WA30324 Nature Reserve covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Kondinin Lake sits 28 km off and takes the overflow.
