Little Llangothlin Lake Fishing Guide, Armidale, New South Wales

• Overview

  The Armidale end of New South Wales holds Little Llangothlin Lake. Everything around it is open plain. About 1.16 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. The whole outline is near 3.8 km, and most of it is walkable. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Armidale. The town to know is Guyra, 19 km out. The big place round here is Toowoomba, 281 km distant. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Little Llangothlin Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The near bank of Little Llangothlin Lake is often the one people ignore. The windward bank collects food and the fish that follow it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 5°C in July up to 18°C in January. It fishes twelve months of the year. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. March through May and September through November are the strong stretches. That shapes the year on Little Llangothlin Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. You will be walking about 980 m from the nearest car park. Picnic facilities are recorded some 980 m out. There are toilets 960 m off. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Llangothlin Lake sits 2.4 km off and takes the overflow. Where Little Llangothlin Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
