Fishing Karhupäänlampi: what the data says
11-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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 11 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 71% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
