About Lake Vancouver

Anglers know Lake Vancouver as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Western Australia, Australia. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lake Vancouver is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Brownspotted wrasse

    Brownspotted wrasse are often found near rocky reefs, so focus your efforts around structure. Use a slow, deliberate retrieve to allow them time to strike.

  • For Southern black bream

    Use light line and fluorocarbon leaders for stealth, as black bream can be easily spooked in clear water.

  • For Banded sweep

    Banded Sweep often feed in schools, so if you catch one, stay in the area as there are likely more around; a light berley trail will help attract them and keep them interested.
