Fishing Gunnarvattnet: what the data says
841-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 102 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 839 acres wrapped in 6.8 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 38% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
