Fishing Eikesvatnet: what the data says
267-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 49 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Eikesvatnet runs 266 acres with 4 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 47% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.

Brown Trout fishing at Eikesvatnet
Spring brown trout on Eikesvatnet hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 49 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 35 ft.
