Fishing Hawley Lakes: what the data says

3,429-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 13 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

On the chart, Hawley Lakes draws 3,444 acres inside 79.7 miles of shoreline, broken up by 28 islands. The 9.7 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 11.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 9.5 mi at the beam. The water lies in Kenora District. For a second option, Helm Lake lies 6 mi north.
