Fishing Askjemvannet: what the data says
100-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 46 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Askjemvannet runs 100 acres with 2.5 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 57% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.
