Fishing Kivenkänä: what the data says
452-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 82 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Kivenkänä maps at 460 acres behind 12.2 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 4.1) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 61% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
