Fishing Lovasjärvi: what the data says
1,110-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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Lovasjärvi runs 1,112 acres with 16.4 miles of edge. A development index of 3.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 63% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives.
