Fishing Hooch Lake: what the data says

366-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

Drawn out, this is 367 acres of water rimmed by 6.1 miles of bank, with 2 islands in the mix. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 90% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.8 mi with a 0.7-mi widest point. You'll find it in Kenora District. The nearest mapped water is Kathlyn Lake, 3 mi to the southwest.
