Fishing Bønnerudtjern: what the data says
6-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 73 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:
The drawn water covers 6 acres wrapped in 0.4 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 51% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
