Best tide state to fish Willie Creek (creek mouth / front flats)
The creek runs on Broome's tides. Spring tides move so much water that the creek runs hard for most of the cycle, and big tides flood sections of the access track, which is why there are two of them. Neap tides give longer, more fishable windows over the deeper holes. The dry season, May to October, is the practical window: easterly weather, firm tracks and clear water on the flats. From November to April the wet brings heat, storms and road closures, and the Shire can close the roads after weather. The creek colours up after rain, and dirty water favours the jacks and barra over the flats fishing.
