  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish Little Armit Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Tackle & Baits

If the gate is shut, Armit Lake at 4.7 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Little Armit Lake for certain.
