You would probably be better off concentrating more of your time where motors are not allowed.

There's a lot of good structure in the channel where farm lake turns into the kawishiwi. Lots of sharp drops offs and depth changes. As far as the body of the lake, I had the best success on the humps in the south center of the lake- but that was with a motorboat. It's a pretty big lake to be in a canoe fishing humps in the middle.

Agree with Grizzly. Farm is better suited for fishing from a boat instead of a canoe. That hump he mentions is good one evening I caught at least one of each of perch, walleye, bass, pike, and rock bass. There's also a small island near the narrows between Farm and Garden that has some decent structure. Watch out on Farm, though, in addition to the boat traffic a decent wind from the south can kick up some gnarly waves.

I'm taking a trip the 3rd weekend in May and I'm starting Lake One going through the North Kawishiwi River and get out on Farm Lake. I've researched the Kawishiwi River quite a bit, but I was wondering if anyone has fished Farm Lake with any success?
