Fishing Lauvavatnet: what the data says
494-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 190 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.
On the chart, Lauvavatnet draws 493 acres inside 4.5 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.4) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 17% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives.
