Fishing Sims Lake: what the data says

820-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 7 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.

The outline encloses 622 acres, worked by 5.1 miles of shoreline — one island included. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 1.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.1 mi at the beam. Kenora District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Hilyard Lake, is 17 mi to the northwest.
