Fishing Färnsjön: what the data says
350-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 31 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 350 acres wrapped in 4.1 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 73% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
