Fishing Lynvatnet: what the data says
148-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 92 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, Lynvatnet runs 148 acres with 2.2 miles of edge. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. 17% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.
