19-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 33 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Åvikinjärvi maps at 19 acres behind 0.8 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 54% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
