Fishing Gavel-Långsjön: what the data says
1,302-acre lake near Norrtälje. The lake tops out around 24 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Gavel-Långsjön draws 1,277 acres inside 11.4 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. A development index of 2.3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 82% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
