Lake Yealering, Western Australia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Yealering is one of the Wickepin waters in Western Australia. The water sits 277 metres up. The water covers around 1.72 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Shoreline comes to about 5.0 km, small enough to learn in a day. Narrogin lies 56 km from the water. The nearest city of size is Mandurah, 179 km away. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Lake Yealering

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read Lake Yealering before you fish it and the day goes better. Within 25 km there are one; within 50 km, twelve.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect January to average close to 24°C, with July the cold end at about 10°C. The water stays warm and open throughout. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish early and late. The season on Lake Yealering follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. A jetty or pier is mapped about 660 m from here. There is a toilet block some 750 m out. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Dulbining Lake is 34 km distant. Signs at Lake Yealering carry more weight than any list.
