Nowergup Lake Fishing in Wanneroo, Western Australia

• Overview

  Western Australia holds Nowergup Lake, in Wanneroo. Tidal water begins 5.2 km from here. At about 26 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Roughly 1.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Our Wanneroo list holds plenty of bigger water. The nearest town is Butler, 2.8 km away. Perth sits 37 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Nowergup Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include western pygmy perch and nightfish. Records show what people reported, so treat the list as a guide to what lives in the area. The near bank of Nowergup Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give February about 24°C and July about 13°C. Winter is simply the pleasant end of an unbroken season. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. The shoulder seasons either side of summer are the ones to aim for. Plan any trip to Nowergup Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. This sits inside Neerabup Nature Reserve, so read the reserve notices first. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lake Adams sits 11 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Nowergup Lake is worth confirming on the day.
