English term or phrase: lake flats / open flats
Chers collègues,

Je bute sur le mot "flats" qui apparaît dans une brochure touristique sur la pêche en Australie.

Je crois que "flats", en géographie, signifie normalement "berges", mais je ne comprends pas le sens des expressions "open flats" et "lake flats" dans la phrase suivante :
"You can sight fish on the lake flats, or ‘polaroid’ cruising shadows across the open flats under a cobalt sky".

Merci par avance pour vos précieux éclaircissements !

Cordialement,

Eric
