Fishing Lilla Skottjärnet: what the data says
17-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 52 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Lilla Skottjärnet draws 17 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 24% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
