About Wellington Dam (Collie)
Best tide state to fish Wellington Dam (Collie)
The dam is most fishable in cooler months — autumn through spring — when water temperatures suit trout and the redfin are tighter to the edges. Mid-summer water warms above the trout comfort zone and they retreat deep, while redfin spread out across the basin. Wind is the practical limiter for kayak and small-boat anglers; afternoon easterlies build through the warmer months and the open basin can chop up quickly. Water clarity is generally good outside winter run-off events, when the Collie River carries tannins and colour into the upper arms.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Wellington Dam (Collie) typically time sessions around the tide for redfin perch, rainbow trout, brown trout, marron, and cobbler.
