Fishing Aursunden: what the data says
11,476-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 197 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Aursunden draws 11,448 acres inside 68.2 miles of shoreline. A development index of 4.6 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 21% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives.
