Fishing Langvatnet: what the data says
280-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 121 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 280 acres wrapped in 3.9 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 19% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
