About this water
Logue Brook Dam is a lake in Western Australia, Australia, covered from the Western Australia reports and listed in all Australia waters.
Fishing Logue Brook Dam: the full guide
The lake
Lake Brockman is the water behind Logue Brook Dam, in the jarrah forest of the Darling Scarp between Harvey and Yarloop, ninety minutes south of Perth: a compact Water Corporation storage with a tourist park on its shore, camping, a ramp and a lake small enough to troll end to end before breakfast. Skiers have the middle of it through summer and anglers have it back from autumn, when DPIRD’s trout go in. The level comes from the Bureau of Meteorology’s gauge at the dam wall, shown here with the time of the reading and a 30-day chart.
Species and seasons
DPIRD stocks rainbow trout into Lake Brockman each autumn and they feed along the drop-offs and the forested edges through winter and spring, on bait under a float, small minnows and wet flies, going deep once the summer heat arrives. Redfin are the year-round catch and outnumber everything else. Marron come into season for a few weeks each summer under their own licence, and cobbler turn up on bait at night. Logue Brook below the wall is a small trout stream.
Where to fish it
The tourist park and the ramp are the access, and the drop-off along the wall and the forested arms are the trout water in the cool months, from a small boat or from the bank at dawn; the skiing zones take the open water in summer. The water authority sets the zones and the speed rules, and the tourist park the camping.
Reading the report
Winter is the trout season in a Mediterranean climate, and the water temperature estimate, marked as an estimate, drops into the trout band around May and climbs out of it by November; the chart shows the summer draw-down that pulls the lake back from the forest edge. Jarrah on every shore keeps the wind off the water. The barometer and the cloud fill in the score.
Licences, access and rules
Freshwater fishing south of the Greenough River needs Western Australia’s Recreational Freshwater Angling Licence, A$50 as read from DPIRD, and the marron season needs its own licence on top; both are on our Western Australia licence page. The tourist park runs the camping and the ramp under the water authority’s rules, and DPIRD’s freshwater and marron rules are in the sources.
Common questions
Do I need a licence at Lake Brockman?
Yes. Fresh water in the south-west needs the A$50 Recreational Freshwater Angling Licence, and marroning needs the marron licence as well.
Is there camping at Logue Brook Dam?
Yes, at the tourist park beside the ramp.
