Field notes

Stocked redfin and trout fishery south of Harvey, easy day-trip from Perth. Reddies on bladed lures and small plastics around the inundated trees; trout cruise the deeper water in winter. Electric-only zones - check current DBCA rules.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
