About Waroona Dam / Drakesbrook Weir

Waroona Dam, also known as Lake Navarino, sits about ten kilometres east of the Waroona townsite and is the closest serious freshwater fishery to Perth — roughly an hour and a half south on the South Western Highway.

Best tide state to fish Waroona Dam / Drakesbrook Weir

Both bodies fish best from autumn through spring when water temperatures suit the trout and the redfin tighten to structure. Mid-summer water in Waroona Dam warms quickly and pushes redfin deeper; Drakesbrook holds cooler longer but still slows in February. Wind is the kayak limiter on the dam — afternoon easterlies build and the open basin chops up by mid-afternoon. Water colour holds clear outside winter run-off events. Boating, skiing and swimming traffic on Lake Navarino is heaviest weekends through summer and shifts where the fish hold.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Waroona Dam / Drakesbrook Weir typically time sessions around the tide for redfin perch, rainbow trout, marron, and cobbler.
