About Kununurra / Lake Argyle / Ord River

Kununurra is the unusual one — a freshwater barramundi fishery rather than the saltwater coast, and with the Fitzroy one of the two Kimberley rivers built around it.

Best tide state to fish Kununurra / Lake Argyle / Ord River

The fishery runs on a wet/dry cycle, not a tide cycle. The dry season (May–October) is the trip window — clear roads, calm conditions, biting fish, manageable heat. The wet (November–April) brings cyclones, road closures, dangerous heat and reduced access. Lake Argyle holds water year-round and fishes through the dry. Lower Ord water levels and clarity depend on dam releases as much as rain. Spring tides on the lower Ord run several metres and the system fishes hardest two hours either side of the tide turn. Mid-dry mornings can drop to single digits inland but days run 30–35 degrees.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Kununurra / Lake Argyle / Ord River typically time sessions around the tide for barramundi, silver cobbler, mangrove jack, queenfish, and giant trevally.
