Best tide state to fish Success Hill Reserve (Upper Swan, Bassendean)

Upper-Swan position — tannin-tinged water year-round, brackish rather than salt, with very subdued tidal influence. Easterly land breeze flattens the chop until mid-morning. Heavy winter rain pushes silt and fresh water down from the upper Swan and can shift the bream into the lower brackish reaches. Algal blooms periodically affect the system in summer heat — check DBCA/DPIRD advisories. Water clarity is best in autumn after the summer flushes.
