Lake Newnham near Waroona: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  The Waroona entry here is Lake Newnham, in Western Australia. The coast is 5.5 km away. It runs to roughly 48 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. There is roughly 3.5 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. On size it sits at the modest end of our Waroona list. For supplies, Waroona is 22 km out. It is 41 km to Mandurah, the nearest city. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lake Newnham

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Work the tide here — moving water feeds, slack water rests. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read Lake Newnham before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 13°C in July to roughly 24°C in February. Warm water year-round keeps fish moving through every month. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish the early and late hours. Spring, September into November, fishes hardest, with autumn a close second. That shapes the year on Lake Newnham.
