Fishing at Stennetts Lake, Lake Grace, Western Australia

• Overview

  Stennetts Lake sits in Lake Grace, out in Western Australia. The bank is 317 metres above sea level. At 2.60 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. It is a smooth basin, with the interest below the waterline rather than along it. It is a small entry by Lake Grace standards. Nulsen is the closest place, 190 km off. Mandurah sits 405 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Stennetts Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shape of Stennetts Lake decides where the fish sit. Sunken timber holds fish, but costs tackle; go in prepared.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 10°C to 22°C. There is no dead season here at all. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. Stennetts Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern. Water temperature lags the air by a week or so.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Lake Chidnup, 20 km away. Treat access at Stennetts Lake as something to verify.
