Lake Muir Fishing Guide, Manjimup, Western Australia

• Overview

  Lake Muir falls in Manjimup, part of Western Australia. Height above sea level is 172 metres. This is big water, about 39.05 sq km, and in a wind it behaves like a small sea. At about 27 km of edge, most people fish a single area and learn it well. It is among the larger waters listed here for Manjimup. Manjimup sits 57 km from here and is the nearest stop. Pemberton follows at 59 km, then Bridgetown at 78 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lake Muir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read Lake Muir before you fish it and the day goes better. A boat opens water the bank never reaches, but is not needed.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between July at about 11°C and February at about 20°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. October and November fish well as the water warms. Anyone fishing Lake Muir regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Red Lake, 9 km away. Check the current arrangement for Lake Muir.
