Fishing Mellangölen: what the data says
14-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 21 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Mellangölen draws 14 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 49% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
