Fishing Lake Moore in Mount Marshall, Western Australia

• Overview

  Lake Moore lies in Mount Marshall, in Western Australia. Dry rangeland runs right down to the water. Moora at 193 km is the nearest place to stop. Further out sit Merredin (224 km) and Toodyay (246 km). Nothing else of size sits close, so plan the day around this one. The nearest boundary is a fair way off. Conditions change the water more than the calendar does.

• Where to Fish on Lake Moore

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On Lake Moore the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 29°C in January and bottoms out near 13°C in July. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. Spring, September into November, and autumn, March into May, are the strong stretches. June through August is cool but far from dead. Plan any trip to Lake Moore around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Confirm access to Lake Moore locally before you travel. In wet weather the last stretch of track is often the problem.
