Fishing Moose Lake: what the data says
61-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 49 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Moose Lake draws 61 acres inside 1.6 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 38% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
