Quarderwardup Lake, Western Australia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Quarderwardup Lake in Albany, Western Australia. The surface lies 127 metres up. Surface area runs to roughly 2.82 sq km, so plan for one area rather than the whole. Shoreline length is close to 7.0 km, and each section fishes a little differently. By surface area it heads our Albany listings. Mount Barker at 64 km is the nearest place to stop. Then Lower King, 66 km, and Bayonet Head, 68 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Quarderwardup Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Treat Quarderwardup Lake as a water to read rather than to cover. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line.

• Seasonal Patterns

  February runs about 20°C on average, July about 11°C. The surface stays open the year round. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish the early and late hours. The shoulder seasons either side of summer are the ones to aim for. Anyone fishing Quarderwardup Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Local rules can differ across the regional boundary, so check where you stand. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Swan Lake, 32 km away. None of that is settled for Quarderwardup Lake in what we hold.
