Hawaii fishing maps / Kauai County

Fishing in Kauai County, Hawaii

13 lakes and rivers in Kauai County have free interactive depth charts here. The deepest is Waita Reservoir at 50 ft. Open any water for species-rated spots, seasonal bite windows and bait picks.

What this local map set contains

The Kauai County directory currently covers 13 lakes or reservoirs. No chart in this set currently has measured bathymetry; 13 charts are clearly labeled as modeled. Recorded maximum depths range from 20 to 50 ft, with a median of 30 ft. Those figures describe each chart's deepest recorded or modeled point, not a safe navigation depth.

Species records are attached to 13 of 13 waters. The most frequently cataloged targets are Bluegill (12), Largemouth Bass (12), Tilapia (12), Peacock Bass (Tucunaré) (11) and Channel Catfish (6). These are coverage counts, not abundance estimates or catch forecasts; open the individual map to see the evidence and seasonal context attached to that water.

Three useful maps to compare first

  1. Waita Reservoir: 50 ft maximum; modeled contours; 6 cataloged target species.
  2. Wailua Reservoir: 40 ft maximum; modeled contours; 6 cataloged target species.
  3. Alexander Reservoir: 35 ft maximum; modeled contours; 6 cataloged target species.

Start with a survey-backed chart when exact contour shape matters most. Use a modeled chart as broad planning context, then verify depths on the water. Comparing the three examples above also shows whether this area offers one dominant basin type or genuinely different shallow, deep, lake and river options. Access is separate from map coverage: confirm launches, shore rights, closures and posted rules before making the trip.
