Fishing Haugesjø: what the data says
319-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 121 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Haugesjø maps at 319 acres behind 7.6 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 38% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
