Fishing Kroktjärn: what the data says
11-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 14 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Kroktjärn maps at 11 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout.
