Fishing Kytäjärvi: what the data says
666-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 33 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Kytäjärvi runs 663 acres with 5.2 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), 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.
