Lake Timperley Fishing in Cockburn, Western Australia

• Overview

  Lake Timperley is set in Cockburn, Western Australia. Warm green lowland runs right down to the water. About 2 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Cockburn standards. North Fremantle at 22 km is the nearest place to stop. Fremantle is 22 km and Cottesloe 22 km. The regional boundary is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lake Timperley

  The basin holds salt water, and for most of the year it is no place to plan a fishing trip. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. Check the nearby waters on this page for the realistic fishing options in the area. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Treat Lake Timperley as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give February about 24°C and August about 14°C. The whole calendar is open, with dawn and dusk the productive hours in summer. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. Spring, September into November, fishes hardest, with autumn a close second. That shapes the year on Lake Timperley.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records flag the water as saline. There are toilets mapped about 400 m away. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Serpentine Lake is 0.4 km off. For Lake Timperley, the notice at the access point is the final word.
