Harwell Lake

For anglers around Marinette County, Harwell Lake is a local lake with the current lake record giving us about 15 acres and a maximum depth of 25 feet, which gives you a much better starting point than trying to read too much into a satellite view.

The kind of water this is

I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.

The fishing side of the page

The fish tied to this exact Harwell Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

A laid-back first trip

If I wanted the first trip to Harwell Lake to actually teach me something, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
