Fishing Gautsträsk: what the data says
1,357-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 147 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 1,354 acres wrapped in 8.4 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 25% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
