Fishing Kalvetjernet: what the data says
12-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 68 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Kalvetjernet draws 12 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 44% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.
