Fishing Dokkafjorden: what the data says
424-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 118 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 423 acres wrapped in 9.5 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 3.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. About 45% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
