The recent work on the Waroona Dam wall meant that the reservoir had to be completely drained. The Department of Fisheries as well as volunteers removed as much of the fish stock as possible just prior to the draining. Since completion of the work a structured re-stocking plan has been commenced. Starting with juvenile marron in Nov 2003. The lake has been restocked with trout in 2004 and also 2005. Marron fishing will also be available from January 2006.

Fly Fishing

While staying at Lake Navarino Forest Resort, why not try your hand at Fly-Fishing for Trout. Not only for the fishing elite, Fly-Fishing is simple to learn and an effective and exciting way of taking a variety of fish.

Lake Navarino holds good numbers of Rainbow and Brown Trout, as well as many smaller Redfin Perch, all of which readily take Flies. Trout fishing is at its best from the start of the season, September 1st, until the water starts to warm up with the onset of summer. The gentle sloping shores of the lake make for very relaxing fishing.

No matter what your choice of fishing methods, nothing can beat the relaxing atmosphere of freshwater fishing here at Lake Navarino.
