1,302-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 164 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2002 (a transect sounding survey). Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Hewitt Lake runs 1,308 acres with 18.2 miles of edge — 4 islands included. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.6) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Roughly 25% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 4.6 mi with a 2.4-mi widest point. The water lies in Kenora District. For a second option, Margot Lake lies 6 mi northwest.
When the water first warms, walleye slide up into 4 to 15 ft. Summer is a 15 to 35 ft game here, winter a 20 to 40 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 31 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (31 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (31 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (31 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
