Fishing De Wiel: what the data says

13-acre river near Nijkerk. The river tops out around 7 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.

The drawn outline gives you 0 miles of bank to pick apart, with 32 islands in the mix. A middling shoreline index (NaN) gives it some bays to work without being a maze.
