Fishing Ailport Lake: what the data says
44-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 40 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Ailport Lake runs 44 acres with 1.3 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 37% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
