1,670-acre river near Utrecht. The river tops out around 26 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal Noordpand draws 1,666 acres inside 83.2 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. A development index of 14.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 78% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 28.8 mi, about 9.9 mi across.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 7 to 26 ft, wintering in 8 to 26 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 7 to 26 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 28 ft | dawn | open water | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
