Nallan Lake in Cue: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  In Western Australia, Nallan Lake falls inside Cue. The country here is dry open country. Surface area is around 43 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. It sits higher than most water we list in Western Australia. Leinster is the closest town at 277 km. After that come Waggrakine at 367 km and Drummond Cove at 367 km.

• Where to Fish on Nallan Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On Nallan Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session. Bright sun pushes fish under whatever cover exists.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between July at about 13°C and January at about 31°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The whole calendar is open, with dawn and dusk the productive hours in summer. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. It holds true on Nallan Lake more years than not.
