Fishing Joutenlampi: what the data says
42-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 20 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 41 acres wrapped in 1.7 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 90% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
