Fishing Mjövattnet: what the data says
71-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 56 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Mjövattnet runs 71 acres with 1.8 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 44% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
