Fishing Bredsjön: what the data says
107-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 14 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 107 acres wrapped in 1.7 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout.
