Fishing Haukåsvatnet: what the data says
23-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 115 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.
On the chart, Haukåsvatnet draws 23 acres inside 1.3 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 14% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
