Fishing Horrmunden: what the data says
2,990-acre lake near Sälen. The lake tops out around 30 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Horrmunden draws 2,731 acres inside 35.3 miles of shoreline, broken up by 18 islands. A development index of 4.8 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 79% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
