Wellington Reservoir in Collie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Wellington Reservoir lies within the bounds of Collie, Western Australia. Country round the bank runs to open low country. Collie sits 14 km from here and is the nearest stop. It is 101 km to Mandurah, the nearest city. Water in the same corner: Lake Kepwari at 21 km, 22 km away is Lake Ballingall, Waneragup Lake at 32 km, 33 km away is Leschenault Estuary and Harvey Dam at 36 km. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Wellington Reservoir

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Wellington Reservoir gives up more to patience than to distance. Wind decides which bank is worth your time on the day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 11°C in July to roughly 21°C in February. Warmth runs the whole year, so timing is about the hour, not the month. Spring, September into November, and autumn, March into May, are the strong stretches. Spring, September into November, fishes hardest, with autumn a close second. Plan any trip to Wellington Reservoir around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lake Kepwari, 21 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Wellington Reservoir as something to verify.
