Fishing Holmsjön: what the data says
28-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 43 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Holmsjön draws 28 acres inside 1.4 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 69% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
