Fishing Nunijup Lake in Plantagenet, Western Australia

• Overview

  The Plantagenet entry here is Nunijup Lake, in Western Australia. It stands 231 metres above sea level. It measures about 56 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Around 3.0 km of margin, front to back. On size it sits at the modest end of our Plantagenet list. Mount Barker is the closest place, 34 km off. After that come Denmark at 62 km and Kojonup at 68 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Nunijup Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On Nunijup Lake a short move beats a long cast. The far bank looks better because you cannot see the snags.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, February reads 20°C and July reads 10°C. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Spring, September into November, and autumn, March into May, are the strong stretches. June through August is cool but far from dead. It sets the rhythm of the year at Nunijup Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is a car park, Lake Nunijup, 370 m from the bank. There is camping recorded roughly 380 m off. Picnic facilities are recorded some 360 m out. Facilities include toilets around 380 m from here. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lake Meenulup sits 14 km off and takes the overflow. For Nunijup Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
