Native floating aquatic plants are most abundant in Lake Hawkins. Hydrilla can be found in small amounts throughout the reservoir. The lake has areas of flooded timber which provide additional cover.
Largemouth bass fishing is generally good for numbers, and better quality fish are caught in the upper end of the lake. The abundant aquatic vegetation and high water clarity may require downsizing of line and lures. Bass anglers often catch chain pickerel while in pursuit of largemouth bass. Chain pickerel can be targeted specifically using small spinners and baits that mimic small minnows or baitfish. These fish are seldom large but they fight hard and are very fun to catch on light tackle. Crappie are sought in the lake's standing timber and under the 2869 bridge. Live minnows and crappie jigs are among the most popular baits used.
