Fishing Garnsviken: what the data says
519-acre lake near Vallentuna. The lake tops out around 33 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Garnsviken runs 486 acres with 10.9 miles of edge, broken up by an island. A development index of 3.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 84% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
