Fishing Birkelandsvatnet2: what the data says
27-acre lake in Norway. 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Birkelandsvatnet2 draws 27 acres inside 1.9 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.6) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 46% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
