Fishing Gravdalsvatnet: what the data says
48-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 82 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 48 acres wrapped in 1.5 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 17% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
