Fishing Hawes Water, Silverdale: what the data says
14-acre lake near Lancashire. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Hawes Water, Silverdale draws 14 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 23% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Brown Trout fishing at Hawes Water, Silverdale
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 3 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 26 ft, and by winter most fish are in 4 to 26 ft.
