Lake Manaring Fishing in Mundaring, Western Australia

• Overview

  Lake Manaring is listed under Mundaring, Western Australia. The surface lies 268 metres up. It measures about 14 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing.

• Where to Fish on Lake Manaring

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include perch. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. On Lake Manaring the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year February sits at 24°C and July at 11°C. Warm water year-round keeps fish moving through every month. Spring, September into November, and autumn, March into May, are the strong stretches. The shoulder seasons either side of summer are the ones to aim for. At Lake Manaring the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. A car park lies 380 m away, so the walk in is short. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Lake Leschenaultia, 7.4 km out.
